Guest guest Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Flo, That's wonderful news What a big ,grown up girl she is becoming. She ( & you) must be so proud. Jack was 7 before he was toilet trained and he still has to go often and still has the odd accident but it is such a huge milestone for our kids.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 That's awesome news, Flo! What a great birthday present for you!! I'm just curious, when did you start trying to potty train , and how long did it take? What methods did you use? Did you just put her on the potty at certain times on a set schedule and sign " potty " to her, etc.? We're thinking about starting to potty train this summer, but I'm not quite sure she's ready yet. She'll be 3 1/2 this summer. She's starting to use some random signs but only a couple functionally at this point, and I don't think she's quite got the concept yet that each sign actually " means " something. But she does do pretty good with picking up routines, though, so she might catch onto the whole schedule thing. I'm not sure she'd associate it yet with actually having to go to the bathroom, though. Any pointers you have would be appreciated! , mom to (3) --------------------------------- Yahoo! Mail Stay connected, organized, and protected.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Hi everyone, Thank you all for acknowledging 's BIG achievement. I knew you guys would understand. Now we have two girls who we can rely on (at least at home and in their familiar places e.g school, nursery etc) to ask for or take themselves to the toilet. Great stuff and what a relief. Of course we expect some accidents (Elly has been potty trained since nearly age 2-1/2 - she is nearly 3 - and we still get the occassional so we know the drill). Thank you for your suggestion to show her where the toilets are when we arrive at non-familiar places. Very good suggestion and we have the chance to put it to the test next week. Finally, thanks for all the birthday wishes. We certainly will try to have good ones. Flo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
