Day 5...
What is supposed to be accomplished in three days exactly? I'm a little confused. Well, we have a couple things down. My kid's bladder is the size of an elephants number one, number two- she has now developed a lifelong phobia of the toilet, and three- our Sunday night entertainment was our entire family sitting in a 4x4 foot area bathroom awaiting the arrival of urine. How exciting. And then when something BETTER came along, aka, feces, we all cheered, ate chocolate in celebration and then went to bed exhuasted by this endeavor. Something is off here. Or maybe... this is exciting and we just don't know it....
Monday
Yea! We start out the day with a dry diaper from the night before (and really, how COULD there be anything in there after the toilet marathon we all endured) when Gabi said, "Chocolate chip para el inodoro?" (Chocolate chip for the toilet?) Yes, we DO brib our baby with Chocolate for poops and we took this as a sign to rush her in. Screaming, mind you, once she remembered her abhorrance for her new enemy, she sat on the potty determined that her will would overcome her need to go. Ha HA! I win! No one can hold it over night and then some! And within thirty seconds it is all out. Thank GOD. Literally, I thanked God for not making me sit on the bathrom floor yet again for another hour. So, with a quick promise of a "Chocolate Coin"- the golden prize for actually PUTTING something in the potty, she was all smiles. And our day began.
Long story short- she peed on the floor twice and pooped in the pull-ups (hey, we had to go to class- she can't be naked forever!) but at night time, right before bath- pee pee in the potty! Yea! AND... no screaming! She did it happily!! Thank God (again) for "Golden Chocolate Coins". By the way, we ended up "purchasing" those in the first place when Gabriela first stole them from Walgreens and we had to go back and actually pay for them.
