Finally Ben has conquered the toilet! We attempted potty training a good six months ago, when he'd just turned three, but he wasn't keen (to say the least). We tried everything we could think of, including special Thomas the Tank Engine pants, various potty training books, bribery, etc.
On several occasions we decided "this is it now, no
more nappies" then the sheer number of accidents drove us back. It also
had a negative effect on Ben, as was aware he was doing something wrong, and it
became the main focus.
But amazingly, he's just decided that using the toilet is
what he wants to do, and hasn't had an accident for nearly a week! I'm over the
moon, as all of his friends had been in pants for months and I was getting
concerned there was something wrong.
