Big toilet time!!!

So as you remember we had one successful poop in the potty and since then it has been touch and go as to whether we catch it in time. However I was deciding whether I have the time and effort to proceed with this, was wondering if he was really ready and how to proceed with this the best way for Finlay.

With Heather I went cold turkey with the diaper and introduced big girl pants, potty hat and sticker board and did not go back to diapers, even at night. However Heather was more verbal, easier to observe and I had a lot more time. With Finlay, he is a boy ( some say, slower to potty train) he does not verbalise and the only indication is the grunting at poop time and there is a lot more going on generally these days to focus on his needs.

Figuring the whole thing out.

Playing with the equipment.

I was reluctant to abandon the process, but not convinced the cold turkey treatment would work for Finlay. So I continued with the whisking him to the toilet every time he grunted and the first week he more often than not had pooped already and we flushed it down the loo. However in the last 5 days we has managed to come and get me and we go poop in the big toilet. He is so proud of himself and the reward for him is to flush the toilet as he shouts " Bye bye " to his poop.
So now he is in pull ups and we are working on his peeing. Today he has started to let me know that too, so progress has been made quicker than I had anticipated and it continues to get better. Soon he may be in those big boy pants.

Getting the hang of it now.
