Three Day Potty Training- Day 4
Sunday
Yes, you will notice there is a day 4... hmm... you THINK? Recap of today... scared poopless (literally) to get back on the potty. Maybe its because she's been spending every waking moment sitting on that thing? Poor girl. By the time she decides she wants to get up, the ring around her toosh (you know what I'm talking about, when you're making a good one and you take the time to read a book????) is stuck for an hour!
By 7:30/8:00 pm this girl has got to go. Don't freak out- she's peed on the floor a few times already. But she REFUSES to get back on the potty. Well, battle of the stubborns, I REFUSE to give her a diaper! So, I run upstairs to borrow Betsy's "Dora Potty"- a little soft seat that attaches to the real toilet, as opposed to the mini pooper she has on the floor. I come back in, "Gabi- you want to pee on Dora?" Do you want to ... "Pee... on Dora?" pee on the single greatest colorful creation ever given to Moms? Of course she says no! Would YOU want to pee on YOUR friend? Don't answer that. Okay, new angle. "Gabi, do you want to sit with Dora on the potty and pee WITH her?" Somehow this changes everything and up she goes...... and we sit... and we sit... and we sit. And... thirty minutes later- we have a winner! Poop in the potty!! It may not be three days... but we're getting there!
