Graysen is doing pretty good with this potty training thing. She is grasping the idea. She still isn’t telling me (minus maybe once a day) that she actually has to go to the bathroom so it’s on me to get her to the bathroom about every thirty minutes. It can be frustrating for her because this child must have a VERY large bladder, she can drink a whole sippy cup of milk, half a sippy cup of water and go three hours without going to the bathroom, and I’ll freak out and make her go every 15-30 minutes and she gets mad and tells me “no momma no potty!” But then fifteen minutes she goes in her big girl pants!!
Today she had a few more “accidents” than normal but I did catch her in the “act” of pooping. She was standing against the wall and I could tell that she had just peed (the shapes on the pull up disappear when it’s wet!) and I just KNEW she was trying to poop so I asked her and told her to go to the potty but of course she wasn’t wanting anything to do with it. So taking note of what my friend Christine did; let her daughter go naked and got her in the act, I did just that. She was about to go and I put her on the potty and she went!! And not only that but she got very excited and said “mommy me poop potty!” and then she said bye bye poop and helped me flush it!
She does great in public! She hasn’t had one accident while being out.. just at home (I blame the TV). We went to Gymboree and she peed before she played and even “tried” afterward but she didn’t have to go but did when we got home! So that makes it exciting. To save money, not sanity I think I’m going to start putting her in panties at home more and keep the pull ups for going out. If she has an accident in her panties she knows for sure.. because it runs down her leg and she hates it.. but the pull up absorbs it all… so I’ve noticed that when she had panties on she would tell me she was going and having an accident but if she goes in the pull ups I have to figure it out (keep looking at the shapes) because she won’t say anything.
She has also gotten into the habit of “fibbing” about going potty. If she gets into trouble and has to go to time out the first thing she says in 10 seconds of sitting in the corner is “ooo momma potty!” she KNOWS I will take her to the bathroom but she NEVER has to actually go! She that tonight at dinner as well she yelled (yes YELLED) “Momma POOP! Poop Momma!”. So I rushed her to the potty but she didn’t have to do anything.. so she got out of sitting at the table! Not too sure how I’m supposed to handle this one!
Otherwise it’s a great progress… I’m still trying to not let myself rush anything we have vacation in less than two weeks and we will be on a not-so-normal schedule for two weeks! So we’ll see what happens!!
