So I had been planning on potty training Eliza in a couple of weeks when it is half term holiday from Esther's playgroup and we would have nothing on but since things have been up in the air about getting our new kitchen fitted and also there seems to be a lot on in February I thought I may as well take the bull by the horns and get going. I hav a 3 day window starting today where I don't really need to be anywhere so this morning we got out the potty and the girly pants!
Esther was our model and showed her what to do on the potty and then Eliza got right to it! She must have sat on the potty for about 2 hours this morning! I have some pictures I've forgotten to upload so I'll put them on tomorrow. Eliza did fantastically, we only had one accident on the floor and the rest in the potty! She even sat on the toilet for a few seconds which she has been doing for ages (she pulls at her nappy shouting 'wee wee toilet' until we put her on there...). She spent the majority of the day in only t-shirts and socks but relented and put on some pants this afternoon for a while. I bought chocolate to use as a reward but she doesn't really seem to remember that I reward her for doing it so I ate some of it as a reward to myself tonight! Esther has been the helpful big sister but wants to go on the potty too only Eliza can get a bit precious about 'her' potty! Not that it's even ours - we borrowed it when we potty trained Esther and borrowed it again this time - it's one of those little chair type ones.
So here's to day 2 - may it be as accident free as the first!

Good luck! Good luck!!! This is one area of parenting where I'm all about the bribes (and waiting until they beg me to do it!!!)
Sounds good! (Especially the mummy-reward bit!)
