    :rolleyes: Rhys just does not understand nap time at all.. Two and a half weeks without more than a ten minute snooze in his bouncer :cool: Thankfully, he will go in his crib and play with toys in there so I can put him down for a while now but he doesn't want to sleep at all.

    Will there come a point where we NEED a routine, or do you reckon I can just wing it between now and him starting school?! :o

    ETA: Incidentially, two and a half weeks since the MRI.. and still no damn results! *stomps foot*

    hmm 3rd set of pants & trousers wet, does that mean its too soon? or is it too soon to give up?

    I really should have read my GF PT book!

    I don't think you NEED a 'routine' you do tend to just fall in to a loose one though *waits for someone to make a joke with that* We've never set a routine for Chris and comparing him to his peers he's not worse off for it.

    obv you will be sort of forced into a routine when you have to have Rhys at school for 9am, picked up at 3:30pm etc but not now :)

    Susan, said electric company wouldn't happen to be a 'Power' one? Scottish Power did the same to us, a bill we had paid was sent to a debt collection agency. Like you, I don't trust them.
    No it isn't. It's not even a real bill either. We got a letter sent 14 days after the meter was put in saying that we hadn't payed a bill they had supposedly sent but we've never had a bill and it's a complete mystery why we are having the letters.

  • sami, not sure with a boy, but what about having him in no pant or trousers, so he can just sit down to wee when he needs, and have the potty beside him so he doesnt have far to go. I personally wouldnt put trousers on anyway for the first few days of trying, never did with Jas, we stayed housebound for 3 days till she got the hang of it !!

    Yeah, whip the pants off and let him go nudey buff, makes him more aware of things down there. DS1 actually learned off the dog, unfortunately that meant he peed against the fence for a few days, but then once he had the hang of that we sent him upstairs to the human toilet (after explaining that he wasn't a dog).

    If he knows when he is peeing, leave him nakey from the waiste down for a few days till he gets the hang of that then try trousers again. Or just pants to save on washing.

    Call trading standards, it sounds like a scam. And once you call them they can call the companies involved for you and get it sorted out.
