We've just started toilet training again (this is it this time, no going back!) and she's been doing so well, we're really proud of her.

BUT... the first couple of wees in the morning, she seems to have forgetten where to do them, but after morning tea time she's 100% dry. Do you think she just forgets?!?! Does anyone elses kid do this?

Go Caitlin! Maybe it just takes her a while to warm up in the morning? Does she go on the potty as soon as her night nap comes off?

She might just be too busy and doesn't notice the urge? It could be that the cold is making her go more regularly with less notice?

she sure does has been stipping off for a while now LOL
We're starting because I'm sick of the tantrums and fighting her to put the nappy on! And because we are picking up from where we left off at Christmas (she was almost dry GRRR!!!)

Yep, we sit her on the toilet first thing in the morning and she has been going, but it's the 2nd or third pee of the day that end up elsewhere

How soon is it after she gets up? Is she drinking a lot in the morning?
I found with Ella that we had to put her sipper cup up on the bench and just give her drinks at breakfast and morning tea etc (unless she was really thirsty and asking for it) so that we had a better idea of when she would be needing the potty and reminding her half hourly after she'd had a drink.
Would that work for you guys?

about 20-30 mins after her breakfast (cereal and 150mls milk), she always carries her cup around and drinks heaps because of her constipation issues (not an issue this weekend - she's been almost every time she pees! )

We ask her every 10-15 minutes and I can see we're already getting on her nerves

Yay for a constipation free weekend!

LOL Maya used to get bugged with me harassing her to go to the toilet too, she still does

My Sienna is the stripper in this house, she can get her pants and nappy off no probs at all, it's driving me mad! She can't get them back on tho...

maybe instead of asking her to go every 10-15mins, put her on the toilet and wait to see if she goes......good luck! i'm sure she'll get right back to where she was in no time. it took jack 12mths to get himself sorted

We simply left the potty in the lounge and let her go to it when she was ready. I also asked her about every 30 mins if she needed to go potty. It took a good 3 weeks to get her into the habit and she now refuses to go in a nappy if she has one on - even at night (its freezing if we have to get up for a potty stop at 2am!)

We had a few accidents and like you, it happened usually at the same time each day (ours was early afternoon). But after that 3 week period, we were home and hosed!

This is exactly how we do it at home and because she doesn't tell us she needs to go she just goes to her potty, sorts herself out, does a wee or poo then claps and goes "YAY" That's the only reason we know she's gone if we're not watching her.

Now Daycare is a whole new issue - and I'm a bit p'd off over it actually
We all agreed (me, DH and the staff at daycare) that yes she was ready and that they would make every effort with her just like we were.
I called this afternoon and spoke to the supervisor who said she had 1 accident at morning tea but admited she forgot to ask C is she needed to go before she sat down to eat. That's fair enough, they are full on on wet days with the other kids.

BUT - when I pick her up tonight, she's been through all 6 pairs of trousers!
One of the other staff members said "but she doesn't ask to go toilet" I KNOW THAT! I TOLD YOU GUYS!!!!
We were told a couple of weeks ago that C was ready to go from the nursery to the big kids area, this would mean she would have access to the toilet anytime (not like the nursery), now apparently she's not rady to go up a level and this means she is reliant on someone seeing her standing at the gate to go downstairs to the toilets!

I'm so angry because I know Caitlin can do this because she wants to and she is definitely ready (we're certainly not pushing her into something she doesn't want to do). But it looks as if daycare are going to be the ones holding her back

What do I do?!?!?! Continue TTing at home and let her wet all the time at daycare or let them put her in nappies?
I have no idea! If we let them put her in nappies and us TT her at home she'll get so confused but I also don't think it will help her if she keeps wetting herself, my poor little girl gets so upset like she's embarrased

Go back to the daycare and tell them that this is what we are doing please can you follow it. When I TT Andrew I told DC what we were doing and they followed us, worked really well.

Has she got a focus teacher?? Tell them what you are doing as they are responsible for her and they can tell the rest of the staff what you are doing.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

Fiona - we had 3 pottys! Just gave one to Tyrell

Becks - the teacher to child ratio is really good at her centre, but on rainy days it's insane in there and so I totally appreciate that they can't watch her every second. She does have a focus teacher (if I understand you right) who she has a special friendship with, they're really close - but again, she's not the only kid.

I guess our biggest problem is that DC have now decided that she isn't ready to go in with the 2-3yr olds (and have access to the toilets herself). At the end of the day it is most important that she is settled and happy where she is.
I guess I just assumed they would keep her downstairs near the toilet.
I can't see this TTing happening if she's locked away from the toilets

I agree with Bizzy, you need to reiterate to day care how its happening at home and that she is going to be getting mixed messages.

On saying that tho, we went through a LOT of clothes at day care at first. How long have you been TT for? It really took a few weeks before it was sorted. Now we are unlucky to have an accident once a week.

Seriously tho, talk to daycare. They are there to help and if they had already agreed, they need to be giving it a good go. Is there a particular carer that could be "in charge" of Caitlins TT? We had Bonnie who looked after that side of things first and foremost. The other carers were aware but if Bonnie was there, she was the person Charlotte went to (or Bonnie would ask if she needed to go).
