Potty Saga

Things were going great nearing 3 weeks without a poopy accident. Then O went to his family day carer for the day and each time he went near the kitchen table she thought he was signing toilet and kept taking him and sitting him on the potty with no result, we worked out later he was actually signing yogurt!! Then when he actually did sign toilet she missed it (or ignored it (not sure) and he pooed in his nappy. And the next day he was at home with me and he went in his nappy without telling me (first time for over a month so that was so disappointing).

The following few days at home we got back on track, then back to family day care this Monday and another poopy nappy - and the following day at home 2 pooey nappies. Its like, just because of the confusion at daycare he has lost his groove for toilet training. So to say I am disappointed is an understatement.

So today he signed toilet and I took him along with success, so all is not lost - but later he did another in his nappy - what the ??. With my other kids once they had, had no accidents for a couple weeks they never looked back, so this is a new scenario for me - one step forward and one back.

I feel like with Owen there is alot of pressure to get things right all the time because I think he can get confused or start a habit easily. It seems to me if he starts right, things seem to keep going along right. But all it can take is one accident or unintended action and things go a bit pear shaped, eventually we get back on track but it takes consistency over a long period of time and sometimes some creative thinking to break the habit. Sadly at the moment I feel like I don't have energy for it, and since it is at daycare where the problem starts/is I am not even sure what to do about it. Frustrating.....
