Little bear is nearly four and still not potty trained. Apparently I am doing everything right, but little bear has Views. The Health Visitors are going Hmmm a lot.
Little bear doesn't have accidents, he just won't use facilities. The longest he has 'hung on' is ten hours. I nearly had a fit when I picked him up from nursery and realised.
Everyone - health visitors, nursery staff, family - agree that little bear will do fine when he decides to. It is getting him to that decision. Last night OH (bless him) watched little bear while I had a lie down. I usually make sure that regardless of big boy pants, he has a nappy on an hour before bedtime so he can stuff that and sleep in a clean one. OH didn't realise, so little bear went to sleep with a nappy on for the first time in a few hours, stuffed it, and what with the temperature, penicillin, etc woke up at 3am with an excruciating case of nappy rash. He woke OH and everything, poor little man. The rash was really bad, and getting him clean was awful.
So I am exhausted as well as poorly, little bear is chirpy but complaining about having to wear big boy pants and OH has had to go into a busy, stressful work day with broken sleep.

The EFG was three before she got the hang of it, although I had tried with her earlier. The YFG wasn't "potty trained" at all in that there was no period of accidents and reminding her at all. She just decided one day to not wear a nappy, and never had an accident of either kind!! She was fully in control and knew exactly what she was doing. She was also about three and a bit at the time. I suspect that LB will be similar and when the time is right for him, he'll do just fine. Relax! And health visitors....don't get me started!
