Toilet Train - UPDATES

This is more of a note to myself, to capture the toilet train progress of my lil fella :-)

After 4 weeks of starting toilet train, Ern is not 100% trained YET but we do see improvement.

At school:
- She is able to tell the teacher more frequent on her needs (from once every few days to once every day)
- She is able to hold her bladder longer like 1+ hour
- She is able to follow the 'toilet q' and pee set by the school (right after their morning tea break)
- She would nod her head and say yes every time when asked if she wants to pee

At home:
- She would take off her pants and run to the potty to wee
- She would tell us the needs by saying "Mummy, wee wee/shee shee".
- She would nod her head and say yes whenever we asked her if she wants to pee

However, when we are outside of school/home, she would say 'no' even we know it's about time to pee. Less than 1 min later, she wet her pants :-(
I tell you, we can tell from her facial expression that she was in shock and shy. After changing her, we reminded her (in a soothing mode) that she needs to tell us.

After talking to some mummies, I was told we need to bring Ern to the toilet even if she said no. That's because they are not familiar with the public toilet and refused to pee. Great learning (thanks Mummies!)

Will see how she progress in a month time....
