Jacks letter of acceptance for nursery has come through this week so Im really pushing the whole potty training thing. He will be starting in September and going in the mornings. I still cant believe he’s big enough to go to school! Although, he’s three this week. He’s been waking up every morning and asking if its his “Appy Birfday” today. I keep trying to explain that its lots more sleeps yet.
Anyway, Back on topic, He’s been using the potty at home for months and we’ve tried him out and about in pants a couple of times but he’s not quite been ready.
This week Ive bitten the bullet and been and bought him a little portable potty that folds up and has little bags with a liner that soaks up the wee and stops it smelling. We’ve also been and bought some new pants (Thomas ones) He picked them himself so he felt really grown up. Every time we’ve been out Ive asked him before leaving if he needs to use his potty, and nine times out of ten he doesnt, but just incase of any accidents I got Karl to order some little seat pads that will go into his car seat and soak anything up.
On the first day we tried it, he was in the car and asked me to go to the toilet. Luckily we were about two minutes away from where Karls mum works, so we nipped in to see her. He was really good and waited till we got to the toilet. He got a cake for being a big boy from Mama too so was very happy!
I think in the last week we’ve p[robably had two or three accidents, and two of them have been when he’s been having his nap and has taken his nappy off without me knowing.
So all in all Im really pleased with him! He’s very proud of himself too and keeps telling everyone that he has new big boy pants on! hehe.
Only problem now is that all of his trousers fall down because his nappy isnt padding him out round the bum anymore! lol
Big Boy school was not a success…..

It was Jacks first day at pre school yesterday and at first he seemed fine apparently. After a while though he got very upset and just sat crying for me. I had a phonecall from them and ended up going t pick him up early. As soon as I got there he wsa fine! I think the main problem was that I had snook out without him noticing, normally if he goes anywhere this is the best way to leave, but by the looks of it, probably not the best stratagy for this situation.
We’re determined not to give up though, We’ll be going next week and Im going to spend a few minutes playing with him before saying goodbye properly and explaining that I will be back soon. Hopefully this wont be as traumatic for him.
When He was talking about school though he kept saying it had been fun, so I think up until he relaised I’d gone he’d quite enjoyed it.
