Toilet training diary part I - by mommy

Well, it's been a few days since we have started to toilet train Nat. What can I say except that it's not an easy task and I sound like a broken record, as I tell this to Nat everyday many many times - " if you need to pass urine/pee/poo, you must tell mommy or daddy ok" or "Tell the teachers you need to go to the toilet and donch pee in your underwear ok" or"Nat Nat, do you need to go toilet and pee, are u sure u donch need to??"

And our dear dear boy will go to the toilet ... and say nothing is coming out... After a while, he will pee in his pants and come tell us to change another set of underwear!!!

I am not sure whether to laugh or to cry... =p

His teachers decided not to stress him out and just toilet train him for half a day in the mornings, for the rest of the day he will continue to wear diapers.

I'm wondering if he is too young for me to start toilet training as he still can't tell us when he feels the urge to pee. So we'll still stick to the routine for the week, if things don't improve, we'll wait a couple of months before we try again. I don't want to stress Nat out too, and it will probably be faster to train him when he develops more, and he can control his urges better. The daddy feels the same way too.

I am glad though that he loves to wear his underwear and he also enjoys going to the toilet. The highlight for him is he gets to wipe his penis with toilet paper, and throw it into the bowl, so he can see the paper being flushed down the toilet... LOL

In the meantime, we'll continue to let him use the toilet everyday, such as after he wakes up in the morning and before bath time. =)

And I hope there will be more improvements to report in Nathanael's toilet training diary part II - to be continued when the little one is ready to...
