It's been a fun four years since I last had to have these around the house....but alas it's time to bring the potty out once more.

Hopefully he takes to it as well as his sister. I am not confident.

We need to start training soon, any tips?

My son didn’t want to use a potty at all. No matter what. He would occasionally use the toilet, but didn’t like that either. He was too comfortable in nappies I think.

Then one day he just decided that’s it and started using the toilet. He was about 3.5, which I think is quite late, I’m not sure. But there was no way he was doing it before then, he just knew when he was ready. He was out of nappies at night about 4.5.

My daughter is now 2 and will try using the toilet standing up after watching her brother 🤣 she at least wants to ditch nappies, but she’s not quite getting there.
