Toilet Fairy
Those of you who haven't made the transition to view our videos via iTunes may not be aware that we invested in an adaptor for our toilet seat, with the aim of trying to tempt Caitlin to use the toilet - you can see her first use for it was not exactly as intended.
After a couple of weeks of gentle encouragement, we decided that it was time to bite the bullet and make the transition away from nappies. Some friends of ours had mentioned that, to avoid any confusion, it was best to go straight from nappies to normal undies; so this week we bought some and changed Caitlin into them. Although we had a couple of accidents early in the week, as I write this we've had 3 consecutive days of zero accidents! It definitely helped when we introduced a star system, one for a “wee” and two for a “poo”, and set the goal of filling in a sheet of stars in return for a fairy dress that Caitlin had spotted.
On a separate note, we've also been enrolled into an article for the Essential Baby website - I volunteered at work, on short notice, to help them out so we'll see what appears next month...
