Potty training fails..

Little Nemo is now just over 2 and a half. He's been aware about going to the toilet for some time but has said that he wants to use his nappy. Anyway I decided after worrying that Nemo may go to high school with nappies on and talking with some friends to just try and encourage Nemo to use the potty this weekend by taking off his nappy and putting on pants. 

I went off to h+m to try and find some star war pants to find that they didn't have any in his size. Instead went home with pants with police cars and fire engines and some dinosaur pants. 

These are his amazing pants 

So we started on Friday

Nemo was very happy to remove his nappy in favour of the new exciting pants. 

He enthusiastically decorated his potty with stickers.

He was able to answer that wees and poos go in the potty or toilet not the pants.

He also knew that a wee or poo in the toilet or potty would be rewarded with a sticker and chocolate!

(He will do anything around the house for a sticker on his chart!)

After I his pants were on he chose to sit on the toilet and read some books.... Looking promising

Then he got off the look after 10 minutes or so and shortly after wet himself... 

Oh dear! 

I had nagging feeling that the weekend is going to consist of Nemo wetting himself several times and day and giving up at the end having achieved no progress!

I was right....

It was actually quite the achievement that Nemo didn't do a wee or poo on the potty given how much time he spent on there. After more accidents than I can remember and after 48 hours without a poo we decided to call it a day! 

Nemo is clearly not ready and I'm going to clock this up to a parenting learning experience!

Anyway in other news Pebble is gaining lots of confidence standing independently and always looks super impressed with herself when she does it! 

Nemo is becoming quite the talker and keeps telling me "don't worry Mummy!" 

Our aquarium yearly pass ran out so this year we got an @Bristol one (interactive science museum). The kids particularly enjoy this section where they have made it into a builders yard with rubber bricks, wheelbarrows, high vis jackets helmets and even scaffolding! 

We've already been twice in a week -partly due to my insistence that we get value for money (we went to the aquarium a ridiculous amount of times last year!)

Anyway baby crying-bye!
