We started potty training DS at easter when he was 2.11. I wouldn't say that he was showing any real signs of being ready but he has to be 'out of nappies' by the time he starts his new pre-school in august.
We spent the first few days in doors and it went okay, but he rarely tells us that he needs to go - we always have to take him at regular intervals or there is an accident, but if he's taken regularly he will we and poo on command in the toilet.
Until a couple of weeks ago. We went on holiday and as there was a long journey there we put a nappy on him (I know, I know) as we didn't know when we'd have access to the toilet and he doesn't let us know when he needs to go.
Since then he's been having a lot more accidents - doesn't often pee all over, but there tends to be a constant wet patch on his pants - enough to change his pants but not enough to change his trousers. He doesn't seem bothered by damp pants and the novelty of going to the loo seems to have worn off.
I don't know what to do. I don't want to go back to nappies especially as he has to be out of them for august, but I'm at a loss as to how to deal with this regression. Any advice?
