TTing question

I spoke to daycare today.

All morning she was asked if she wanted to go toilet (every half hour) and they would go down to the toilets together (with the other 2 that are TTing). Only one accident this morning (again at morning tea), then she was put in nappies and kept in nappies until I picked her up.
They said it's hard for them because she doesn't ask to go toilet - which is something she will learn. But I don't understand why they can't continue with the half hourly toilet trips in the afternoon?

I must say - I'm still really unimpressed with this

Also, I questioned one of the ladies about Caitlin not going down to the big kids area when we were told she would, aparently she's not even on the transition list yet!
I just feel this is such a waste of time! She's a smart kid (mummy brag I know - but I think she is ) and if they were taking her every 30 mins for the whole day I'm sure she would have it sussed really quickly. This is just going to drag it out unnecessarily

And it is giving her mixed messages by putting her back in nappies! I also would be going grrrrr at them and asking them to perservere!

It takes committment on all sides and if they have agreed that they will help you then they gotta help! There are going to be accidents, its a give in. Charlotte didn't know to ask at first either and as I said, we had heaps of accidents at first. But she learnt really quick and Caitlin obviously is a bright spark too. Make them continue with it, put heaps of spare clothes in. I reckon after about 3 weeks it will happen. Until then, there will be accidents but they will get less and less as the weeks go on.

I'm off work today getting sorted for our holiday tomorrow so we're having a girly day

We popped into Daycare so I could have a proper chat with the nursery supervisor.
It really does depend on who you talk to! She was fantastic! All day yesterday on the half hour she would take all 3 of them down to the toilets and Caitlin only had 1 accident
She's evening starting to tell them when she needs to go, that was the accident tho lol It was more of I need to go right now - uh ohhh I've been But hey - it's a huge step in the right direction.

We went to the mall this morning and went to the toilets three times whilst we were there in an hour and no accidents at all. Yay my big girl

We're taking nappies with us to Chch, but will still take her to the toilet every half an hour if we can
