Post subject: bit of a strange toilet question!

so Kieran hasnt had a nappy on (day or night!) for abouyt 3 weeks now ! Smile

so proud of him, not 1 wet night n only 2-3 accidents during the day where he cant get his trousers down fast enough!
anyway.... he has decided (lil mr independent!) he doesnt like the potty anymore and wants to use the toilet! this of course is fine, except... he is too short to to stand up and do it (even with a step!) and he also hates the toilet seat, he likes to sit on the normal toilet seat, again this is fine, but, coz his lil legs are so short his bits dont go very far into the toilet and the direction that he wees ends up shooting perfectly between the rim of the toilet and the seat so that it goes all over his trouses anyway or the floor if he doesnt have any on..or me if i stand too close!! lol
the only way i can seem to stop this is by sticking my hand down the toilet and literally point it downwards Embarassed

which again he hates! (understandable!) so my question is...any suggestions to stop this happening!? lol or anyone know of a taller step!? so i can teach him to stand up? xxx

Either get him to point it down himself Question

or I had one similar to this one for most of mine
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Toddler-Potty-Training-Toilet-Ladder/dp/B006DLFHZS/ref=sr_1_3?s=baby&ie=UTF8&qid=1340811684&sr=1-3
and the step is actually quite high on it and it has handles so they felt more secure while sitting down (and could do it themselves),but it does have a seat as well Question

but i still found i had to tell the boys to aim as otherwise even standing up they still manage to miss Rolling Eyes

Did just find this double step though ?

Hi, alot of little boys have this problem! Try teaching him to open his legs wider and lean as far forward as he can, this should help angle it downwards!
