Toilet Training

Yesterday, Joash's teacher told me that he said he wanted to poo. And when she brought her to the toilet, he really did it! Great job, Joash!

Call me a lazy mom but I've been very relaxed about toilet training. I'm completely skipping the potty phase and going straight for the toilet seat phase. All I've been doing is simply to tell Joash "Next time tell Mummy when you want to poo poo and Mummy will bring you to the toilet, ok?" whenever I change his soiled diaper. Every time I see him squatting, I'll ask him if he wants to go toilet. But I won't force him if he says 'no'.

There has been numerous times when he told me he wanted to poo but didn't managed to go after sitting on the toilet seat for 5 min. I'll just put his diapers back on when he tells me that he is done and will flush the toilet, even though there isn't anything there.

Although I am disappointed that his first successful poo in the toilet on his own accord is in school, I'm still glad that he is slowly getting it. *all smiles*
