Background:
We started potty training DD2 (2.5 yr) last week, purely by accident :clapping: but now I'm stuck!
On Friday she was running round the garden 'in the naked nudey rudey :laughing:' as I wasn't working and she asked to go for a wee so I got the potty and she went. Since then we have been at home most of the time or at nanny's house and she's been without knickers (just dress or skirt) so totally unrestricted. She doesn't always tell me she needs a wee/poo but she always goes on the potty (over the weekend it's been on a mat in the lounge within easy access). When we've been in the car or she's gone down for a nap I've put a nappy on. Yesterday morning I tried to put knickers on and (as I feared) she had her first accident (:() This morning I put knickers on and she got half way to the potty and sat down and said sorry as she'd started and couldn't stop.
Dilemma:
1. How do I get knickers on her?!? When she's 'free down there' I think she gets more feeling and as soon as she's wearing anything, whether it be knickers or nappy, she forgets (?) to go.
2. Where do I put the potty? I live in a bungalow and it's all open plan. I obviously have to move it out of the lounge :laughing: but not sure if I should just go the whole hog and put it in the bathroom. Today I tried moving it towards the hall but mindee (12mo) thought it was a toy! As we've had a day out today at another minders I chose to put a nappy on but I think I'm going to confuse her if I do that too much :(
PS, I don't remember having these problems with DD1! All help greatly appriciated :thumbsup:
