After we got my DD used to peeing on the potty we started with trying to get her comfortable with using the big toilet, just incase we we're ever out and about and didn't have access to a potty. She was quite happy to sit on the big toilet but being quite short she really struggled with getting on but being independent she didn't want any help. So I brought a stool to stand on so she could get herself up.
Me, DH and DD were playing in the garden one day when she declares she needs a wee, this is the conversation
DD: Mummy I need a wee wee but I need to use my big toilet
Me: Ok darling would you like me to come with you?
DD: No I can do it myself
Me: Ok well give me a shout if you need me, you can use your stool to do a wee
Off she goes, 2 minutes or so later she comes back down
DD: Mummy there's wee wee on the floor but it was an accident, come and see
So I go up to the toilet and sure enough there's wee all over the floor
Me: Oh dear that's a bit of a mess what happened here
DD: I did it but it was just an accident
Me: That's ok we can clean it up, what happened did you miss the toilet
DD: No.... I did a wee on the stool like you told me too
Me:
