TT questions

[MelZ]

Not really sure what Im asking here... Just some advice or insight really.

DD has been using her potty for ages. Still not pulling down knickers etc, so she wears dresses or skirts so she can lift them up and she uses it every time with no accidents.

Ive noticed the last few days she seems to be going MUCH longer between wee's. I think she is just holding on for longer.

I have recently been asking her if she wants to use the big girls potty, (meaning the toilet) but this is confusing her I think. She points to her own potty and calls it either baby potty or big girl potty. She still uses it, but doesnt yet use the big toilet herself.

We have a seat on the toilet, but not a step stool yet. I know we need one in there, do you think this would be a good time?

The other thing is that the laundry tends to be the no go zone, where the doors are usually shut because there are all the cleaning things in there. I do need to springclean it and put everything in a 'place' just that the storage in there isnt very good. I have a bookshelf that I want to put in there though, so they can all go up the top of that.
All my hairdressing stuff is in there as well, it just needs a damn good clean out and move things to a safer place.
She goes in there but only if dh or I are there.

So what do you think we should do?

Maybe I could do the spring clean and then put the potty in the toilet so she gets used to going there. At the moment its just out where she can see it so she gets to it in time. If she knows its in the toilet all the time and the doors are open so she can get to it, we should be right...

Or should we just get a step and let her start using the toilet.

She used the toilet at daycare, but of course they are pretty small and she could reach everything.

Do the spring clean and put the potty if you can safely near the toilet. I have the opposite problem K won't use the potty, neither would W, so we just had a smaller seat to put on the regular toilet, they don't have a step stool, but prefered to clamber up - I had visions of a little one falling in, but it's never happened thank goodness.

Yeah think I will do that untill she gets used to going into the toilet, then get a step so she can get up and use the normal toilet with seat.

I would do both (seat and step) and put the potty in the laundry. Then she can decide which on she wants to use.

DS is the same he wont pull his undies down, although I know he can.
