Toilet Training Update

As I had written in a previous post ( http://bright-people.blogspot.com/2006/03/toilet-training.html , it seems that I was right about my daughter and what many parents have stated before. On the third of july, or there abouts, Skye, who is 2 years 7 months old, told us that she needed to do a wee, and then indicated that she wanted her nappy off. So we took off her nappy and she went to the toilet and to our amazement she did her first wee on the toilet.
We then proceeded to follow that up with a roaring congratulations and lots of cheers and clapping and what ever else we could think of to encourage her to keep doing what she had just done. Mind you though, we didn't encourage her with treats such as biscuits or chocolates, just a lot of well dones and that how awesome we thought she was.
At the moment though, she doesn't seem to have any sensation when about to do a poo, so she still has accidents in that respect. At night time it's the same thing, she is not waking up needing to go to the toilet, but we suspect that will happen gradually so we use pull ups, which is something that I was very much against as I thought that may hold her back from using the toilet during the day, but now that I understand the no sensation thing at night, Skye knows that there is a difference between pullups and a nappy and has accepted them quite well.
