0:00:05 > 0:00:08CAT MEOWS, SHEEP BLEATS
0:00:08 > 0:00:09PIG SNORTS
0:00:22 > 0:00:27- Who's come to the table this morning?- Me.- Who else has come?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29- Who?- Who've you got with you here?
0:00:29 > 0:00:32This is Ellis, and she is three years old.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Ellis and her family are having breakfast to give them
0:00:35 > 0:00:39- lots of energy for the day. - Is it almost gone?
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- Did you not save any for me?- Mm-mm.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46- Oh, dear.- You've got to do it this morning.- OK.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Where's your sister's bag?
0:00:48 > 0:00:50- A new one?- You can get her bag.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Today, Ellis is going to do something new for the first time,
0:00:54 > 0:00:56but what will that be?
0:00:57 > 0:00:59This is Ellis's memory box.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03It helps her remember the exciting things that have happened.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05See if you can spot what goes in it.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06As Ellis is growing so big,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Mummy thinks it's time to stop wearing nappies.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14That means we are going to have to go and buy a new potty.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- Which one?- Which one?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18What colour, would you think?
0:01:18 > 0:01:22- What colour potty would you like? - Pink.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25So, Ellis, shall we go to the shop today
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- and go and get a new pink potty? - Yes.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Not nappies.- Not nappies, no, because we're a big girl now.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35We're going to have a potty, aren't we?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Potty training is when we learn to use the potty
0:01:37 > 0:01:42and stop wearing nappies. Everyone eats food and drink for energy,
0:01:42 > 0:01:46but the bits our bodies don't use make waste known as wee and poo.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49That needs to go into the toilet to be flushed away.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53It's important to remember to always wash your hands after
0:01:53 > 0:01:54you've been to the toilet.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Ellis and Mum are coming to the shop to buy some big girl pants
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- and get her potty. - Knickers!- Knickers!
0:02:01 > 0:02:05- Would you like those ones? - Which one?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09You're three, so should we get the ones for three-year-olds?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- That's not three.- I think it is.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- This one's three. - But that's very little.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17We need the big, big girl ones now, don't we?
0:02:17 > 0:02:22Ellis will need lots of big girl pants to practise using the potty.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25You did say you'd like a pink one, didn't you?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- I want the rainbow one. - You want a rainbow one.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Well, there's a pink one. Do you like pink?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Should we get a pink one? Yeah?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- Yeah.- Ellis, we need a potty, don't we, so we can use it?
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- Do you know what you might need? You might need a stool to step on.- Yes.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Would you like to get one? Which colour would you like?- Pink.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- Pink.- The stool will help you reach the sink so you can wash your hands.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Mum has decided that Ellis will start potty training tomorrow.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59The first thing to go into Ellis's memory box is her potty.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Morning, Ellis. Today's the day you start potty training.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Are you choosing your clothes?
0:03:07 > 0:03:12- This one.- OK, then. Ellis...
0:03:12 > 0:03:15You know how you've got a nappy on?
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- It fits.- It does fit you. I've got something else for you to wear
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- today.- What?- What's this?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Do you know what these are? Knickers.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- Is that what your sister has? - Yes.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Are you excited about wearing them? Do you want to have a look?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Ellis is going to wear knickers for the first time.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Should we put the knickers on now? Your new knickers.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- No nappies any more, Ellis.- You're a really big girl now, aren't you?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- I've grown!- You have grown.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Should we get your socks out? Where are they?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50One, two, three, four. Jump.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58But now you're a big girl, I think we'll put this in the bin, yeah?
0:03:58 > 0:04:02But that means we're not going to do any wees or any poos
0:04:02 > 0:04:06in this any more. Do you know where we are going to do them?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- Where?- We're going to do them in a potty.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Wow, you're a big girl now.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Bye, nappy, I've got knickers.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20The second thing in the memory box is your nappy.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- We've got you a new potty here, haven't we?- Put it there.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Put it there? And shall I show you how we are going to use it?
0:04:31 > 0:04:35If you sit there, and I'm going to sit here. Can you see me?
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Look, I'm on this one, and you're on that one. Yeah?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42So, when you need a wee, we are going to come
0:04:42 > 0:04:45and use your potty, because this is the bathroom.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Where you use the potty.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Remember, Ellis, after you've finished on the potty,
0:04:50 > 0:04:54you clean yourself, flush the waist down the toilet.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Then it's important to wash your hands.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- Do you know what this is?- Soap. - Soap.- Is it soapy?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03It probably is.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Shake, shake, shake. And then...
0:05:05 > 0:05:10- Towel!- You've got the towel on your head. Right, come on, then.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Next time, we're going to use the potty, aren't we?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18The third thing into the memory box is the toilet.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Ellis, do you love ballet?- Yes.- Yes.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- Do you know how you're doing your potty training at the moment?- Yes.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32How about every time that you do a wee or a poo on the potty,
0:05:32 > 0:05:36on your own, that we can put something in this bag?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39I bet it's your ballet clothes.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42If you get them all in the bag, we can have a ballet lesson.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Would you like that?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Wow, Ellis, if you practise using your potty,
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Mum says you can go to a special ballet lesson. Yippee!
0:05:50 > 0:05:52ELLIS LAUGHS
0:05:57 > 0:06:02Mummy wants to show Ellis how our bodies work when we need the toilet.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06I've got this one here. This is your bladder, and it fills up.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- When you need a wee, what happens? Squeeze it.- So, if you drink lots,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- you may need the potty. - I can hold it.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Oh!- Oh, no.- It's all empty now, isn't it?
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Do you think this is like our belly, our bladder, when we need a wee?
0:06:21 > 0:06:25- When it's full?- Yeah.- Yes. Do you think it feels like that? Ready.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28THEY LAUGH
0:06:30 > 0:06:35- Ellis likes to play on her bike in the yard.- Back to my mum.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40- Oh, Ellis has something to tell Mum. - Mum, I'm coming!
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Oh, Ellis, well done for telling me you need a wee.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48OK, so you're going to sit down on the potty. Well done.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51What's that noise? Where is it?
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- It's tinkly.- It's tinkly? - It's a tinkly wee.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59It's a tinkly wee. What do you think you're going to need?
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- Do you need this?- Yeah.- Yeah?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Do you want to wipe it?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Well done! You've done so well.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13That's a really big wee. You did so well.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15I didn't wee in them.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19You didn't wee in them. First of all, where are we going to put this?
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- In the toilet. I need to. - You need to do it?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- Bye, wee. - TOILET FLUSHES
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Well done, Ellis, your first time using the potty.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Do you want to put your shoes in the bag?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33You're filling your reward bag.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Mummy and Ellis are now making animal shapes.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45They're very busy thinking about what to make.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- A broken wing. - The flamingo's got a broken wing?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Yeah.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Ellis? Ellis, sweetheart, are your knickers dry or have you had
0:07:56 > 0:07:59a little accident? What's that?
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- Is that, "My knickers are a little bit wet?"- A little wet.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- A little wet. Should we get those changed?- Yeah.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Ellis. Ellis, now that you've got knickers on
0:08:11 > 0:08:14and not a nappy, it's nice if they're dry.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16It feels a bit funny if they're wet.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Does it feel a bit funny?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Yeah? Should we go put a dry pair of knickers on
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- and put those one in the wash? - Knickers.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Well done. So they'll be nice and clean in a minute, won't they?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Yeah, put them both in. OK, close the door.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Do you know which button to press? This one.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39On goes the washing machine to wash your knickers.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43It takes time to learn how to use the potty. Accidents can
0:08:43 > 0:08:46sometimes happen. There's no need to worry about it.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Over time, you'll learn to understand when your body
0:08:50 > 0:08:53is telling you to go to the toilet.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Ellis and Mum are playing houses.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59She's showing Mum everything she's learnt about the toilet.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- What this?- Toilet.- Is it?
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- He needs to sit on the toilet. - Does he?
0:09:04 > 0:09:10- Yeah, he needs a wee. - Does he? What's he got to do?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Oh, I think Ellis might need the toilet again.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- You were really good coming in here. - Yeah.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23- I just wanted to win. - Yeah, you did win.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27I'll empty the potty.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- Don't forget to flush.- Well done, you did really, really well.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Ellis, your reward bag is full.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- I think you're ready for your ballet lesson.- You've done so well.
0:09:37 > 0:09:42- Mummy is really proud of you. - A lot?- Yeah, a lot.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Ellis's family have brought her for a special ballet lesson.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Bend, and up.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Off you go, girls.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- Toes going.- Hold on tight, Ellis.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Round we go.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07SHE LAUGHS
0:10:11 > 0:10:15The final thing in the memory box is the ballet lesson.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Off you go. Skip!
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Today, Ellis got a potty. Do you remember what happened?
0:10:22 > 0:10:27Let's have a look in her memory box. First, Ellis went to buy a potty.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Then, Ellis got rid of her nappy and wore big girl pants.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Next, Mum showed Ellis how to use the toilet.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Finally, Ellis did so well, she got a ballet lesson as a reward.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44Today, Ellis started potty training. There's a first time for everything.
