The past two days have seen a slight lull in enthusiasm in Thumper's campaign to conquer the toilet - on balance there were several more misses than hits. And her progress continues to be annoyingly hindered by the "shy wee", which makes it's presence felt but then disappears as soon as Thumper sits on the loo. The bath-time wee last night was a particularly annoying one, with Thumper getting in and out of the bath three times over to sit on the toilet. Eventually she was successful and enticed the shy-wee out, but unfortunately there was a lot of water dripped all over the bathroom and toilet in the process.
Today (Day 5) has seen Thumper return to form, starting off in the morning with another dry night nappy followed by a wee on the toilet in the morning. Thumper had creche today and the carers were all very excited when she arrived wearing undies. She used the toilet with no problems all day for wee. However poos are proving more difficult - Thumper had two 'accidents'. . Apparently after one of them, she approached a carer and said "I've had an accident, by accident." which not surprisingly caused a bit of confusion! (I'm just glad I was at work today and wasn't around for the clean-up. Hopefully, Thumper works out the number-two part of the process soon... that would be nice.)
Accidental accidents aside, I'm so excited and impressed with how quickly this has all happened (once Thumper took it upon herself to start, that is). And the overnight dry nappies are a complete bonus! I'll be totally amazed if she becomes dry at night at the same time as during the day!
