So potty training is easy apparently, who knew? Ok, maybe slightly challenging and we haven’t quite took the plunge yet but so many people have messaged and asked me to share what tips people gave me yesterday (thank you to everyone who messaged ❤), so here you go! Like everything, people’s advice differs and in the end what works for your child, might be different to someone else’s. But one running theme was to stock up on chocolate buttons and ALL THE WINE. GOOD LUCK!
So we are definitely going to do a sticker reward chart (and chocolate after so many stickers). I’m going to see if I can get the pirate book but delivery on things at the mo is hit or miss so I might just show him the YouTube videos. Over the next few days I'm going to try getting him to have a wee in potty when he gets up and then before bath. (Though he just threw the potty in the bath before so doesn't bode well.) Then nappy off and go free for a few days and see what happens. I fully expect my cream carpet will be green and brown by the end of it and I’m still not sure he is ready but just going to try. No pressure – if he isn’t ready just try again in a bit. I’ll let you know how we get on! Wrote this super quick while Elijah was asleep on me so hope this all makes sense! GOOD LUCK!

Our little boy was 25 months when we started at the start of lockdown. We were fully prepared for him not to be ready but thought we had nothing to loose with being stuck at home with both parents. What worked for us was him being half naked all the time and doing a really fun potty dance when he wee’d or poo’s. He’s done amazing!

Ah amazing! That's given me hope as I'm really not sure Rafe is ready. He is currently sat on the potty now 🤞Hope the success continues X

We are 6 days in with our 2.5 yr old! The first few days are brutal but it’s finally clicked and he’s telling us when he needs to go! Pirate Pete on you tube is constantly on the iPad and we used a Bing reward chart and chocolate buttons. Nappy free for 2 days and pants on day 3. Good luck! Xx

Sounds like Pirate Pete might be the answer, getting him on YouTube now! Glad it's going well - long may it continue! Xx
