Hi there, new to EB and absolutely love this resource. My son is 2 and we are toilet training at the moment. He is TT in the day, yet I still put a nappy on him when he sleeps, although most mornings he wakes up with a dry nappy and an urge to go to the toilet, which is great. It took us about 3 weeks to get to completely dry days, and being in underwear all day. I reassure you though that it was a frustrating and slow process. What we found worked for us is allowing him to stay in his undies for approx 5-10 mins after having an accident in them, provided that it wasnt poo. What this meant is that he felt uncomfortable and acknowledged the fact that wees needed to be done in the toilet. After an accident he would come to me and say "mummy mummy" with a sad look on his face and I would then ask him repeatedly where do we do wee and poo, he then responds with "on the toilet". He has fantastic communication skills for his age and I think that made the process a little easier. Constant reassurance and reminders is what worked for us. Also bought the fisher price potty that sings once he does a wee and he loves it. Hope this helps

DS as soon as he hears the water he starts wee'ing and gets so excited running around the house yelling "i did it, my doodle works"

good luck OP toilet training is definately the hardest part of parenting i have come across so far!
