Layla will be 3 in a couple of months. I only toilet-trained her a month ago. I know, pretty 'late'. But I had such a bad experience with James that I just didn't want to start. I am also a lazy parent. As it turns out, she has been a dream to toilet-train. So good in fact that she has been waking up dry in the morning. Of course the next step would be to take the night nappy of her. Only problem..... she is still in the cot. Once again, that was due to having such a bad experience when we moved James to a bed.
So first step in night training was to move Layla into her big bed. The big bed has actually been in her room since June (when James got a new midi-bed). Only ever referred to as her 'dolls bed' though.
We made the move a week ago. Rather than just jumping out of bed in the morning, we have told her to call out to us. So far it is working. Like most things with Layla, they are just easier. In the mornings, she calls out "Cock-a-doodle-doo" to let us know it is time to get up. Don't ask me where she got that from, but it is hilarious....

You have got to write that cock-a-doodle-doo comment down - that is priceless!
Our girls were the same - would call out that they were ready to hop up rather than get out of bed - we didn't tell them until they worked it out for themselves!
I love the cock-a-doodle-doo call in the morning. Layla is so cute!
So adorable! We've never been able to get our little ones to stay in their beds, often having middle of the night visitors - these days I sleep pretty light and keep an ear our for the pitter patter of tiny feet on our floorboards!
