Toilet Training

I first tried to toilet train Eethan sometime in Dec last year coz I wasn't working for at least 3 weeks then and thought it a good time. But it wasn't successful as it needed all his caretaker to be in sync and Eethan can't really express himself then.

On 10 Apr 2011, Eethan was 21mth. I tried again. There were a couple of accidents that day, 2 I think. But then he succeeded in telling me he needed to pee!! I was so excited that I even took a photo of it.. haha! I then told his baby sitter that he can do it and he will tell. Kids, when they are too engrossed with something, they'll forget. So we'll need to ask them from time to time, if they needed to use the washroom. And I insisted on not letting him wear diaper whenever he is at home.

Just the next day after I told the baby sitter about Eethan's toilet training, she asked me for diaper, saying her supply was finishing soon..zzzz... I wonder which part of our conversation she didn't understand. I reiterated again and told her if she were to use, please only when he is taking his nap. Well, I don't have much confident in her. I doubt she'll follow.

But my Eethan now do not need diaper during his nap!! I've even brought him out a couple of times without having diaper on. I've monitored his pattern, we'll just need to ask and encourage him every 2 hrs to be safe. Nite diaper is still on though... I don't wanna clean mattress.
