Pregnancy nose!! It is just as well Champ has learnt to use the toilet and I am not longer changing (and washing) stinky nappies.
Oh, did I tell you you we started toilet training? Did I complain about the trials and tribulations of getting Champ to do his business on a toilet?
No? Oh, that is because it was really a non event. He just agreed that he should stop wearing nappies, wear big boy jocks and tell Mummy when he needed to use the potty. And he did.
I really should write a book, except that it would just say 'Tell your child that nappies are for babies and now they are a big boy/girl now and need big boy/girl underwear. Then take them to the potty. Make a big fuss when they do anything in the potty. If they have an accident tell them calmly that Mummy doesn't want to see accidents, Mummy likes it when you tell her that you need to use the potty. Go on your merry way (nappy-less).' Do you think it will be a top seller?
Of course we still have occasional accidents (the kid only turned 2 last month!) but he gets about in big boy jocks all day everyday and I generally trust him to hold it until we get to the bathroom. Knock on wood, but we have never had a #2 accident. He even does it in the big toilet now. And that, my friends, means a lot less gagging from his pregnant Mamma!

Wow, that's IMPRESSIVE! You are a lucky mama! I am not pushing Bean to potty train at all, I'm hoping it means we'll have it easier too because we'll wait until he's really ready.
ReplyDeleteI am SOOO with you on the smell while pregnant. I'm very excited that Peanut has taken a "hey I'll just let them know when I need to use the potty for #2" almost 30% of the time now and is amenable another 30% of the time if we just suggest it. This means we're only left with about 40% of the poopy diapers we once had. My pregnant nose is thrilled!
