Potty Training

I was so excited to start potty training. Wanted to start my son on the potty when he turned 15 months, but that was a bit early and my mom said it's easier when it is summer. Since he turned 2 in winter I decided to chill out and wait a bit. Luckily we took him out of kindergarten. November 1st was the day he officially started "home school"  what better time to start him off right away. From the research I have done they say you can potty train in 3 days, if  you take him to the toilet every 15-20 min. Easy peasy...

After a view times taking him to the toilet and him peeing in his pant every time I almost wanted to give up. I had some doubts that I am starting him off to soon but he is 2 years and 3 months. His nappy started bothering him a lot, he tells me when he pees and was okay to go sit on the toilet when I asked him to. So I decided to push through. My husband is an absolute star, he continued the next day. Sunday we were at home, it was cold and rainy so we stayed home and took him to the toilet frequently. It took about 3 weeks for him to be fully potty trained without any poo whoopsies but a month in he was doing pretty well. When I asked him if he needs to pee he would tell me "I will tell you if I need to pee". 

All went well 2 months in and we started packing to move back to Pretoria, so he started having pees whoopsies, luckily just pee. He would say, Eckan pee-pee and then just started to pee. Back in Pretoria he also had a few pee whoopsies, strange only when he is at home. Never when we were out and about. Even the whole 2 days of traveling from George to Pretoria he would ask if he needed to pee and sometimes we had to stop on the side of the road so he can wee. I'm so proud of him, he is doing great he is even off of the night nappy but some evenings he drinks to much water then I just put a nappy on.
