Well, almost. Last Thursday, I fervently got Lavigne to poo in the toilet. I was spurred on by a toilet-training video I saw over at a mummy's blog. Showed Lavigne the clip repeatedly and when she asked me for a diaper, I told her I'd run out and she had to do it in the toilet. Unfortunately, she refused to sit in the toilet and would beg for the diaper. I didn't give in and encouraged her to go to the toilet instead. For the whole day, she would ask for a diaper and when I didn't give her, she'd hold on to her poo until in the evening she was so desperate she finally managed to do it when I put her on the toilet seat and played the video for her. Louisa and I cheered for her and I was very happy but careful not to be overly excited in case of what had happened before. Several months back, she did it once in the toilet too but that was it. She refused to do it since then. Adrian said it was because I went about telling my sisters and started to blog about it (I didn't publish it).
This time, I was careful not to talk about it until I was quite certain 'Project Poo' was a success. So I'm happy to say now that it had been. Why I say it's a success is because since yesterday, she didn't need the video when she needed to go and she willingly sat in the toilet, with result that is. So I'm left with the the night diapering. It's been a while she doesn't want to wear diaper to bed and I'd put it on for her after she sleeps. I hope I can do away with the night diapering soon.

My son Cayden is saying the exact same thing when he wants water! Guess its common amongst kids who just started talking? When he wants milk, he says "urk". :)
