It is time. I can ignore it no longer. Olivia is ready, yet I am not. I\’m not ready for cleaning carpets, floor, and loads of clothing. I can hardly manage to rinse off a few dishes each day!
I have no choice, but she is making it easy. Huh? I think she is training herself! I have tried a few times in the past several months, but have not made progress. It seems though that in the past few days, Olivia has been taking care of it on her own. She desperately wants to wear her Strawberry Shortcake undies - that is her choice reward. I\’ve been diapering her up, despite her pleas for undies. She finally has given over to my decision… except… she takes off her clothes, takes off her diaper, and goes on her own. Throughout the day I hear a little voice yell, \”I\’m done Mommy!\”
Now this is the way to go! It has only been a couple days, but I feel encouraged. Her diaper was dry all day. I eventually let her wear undies the second half of the day. She stayed dry! I think the Lord knows I just can\’t take on the PT job so He is blessing me with this little gift:) I really feel it is a special little treat for me since I am so wiped out with this pregnancy. Plus, Olivia benefits too. I\’m sure night time training is a way out, and am nervous about letting her wear undies when we head to the grocery store, etc.. However, I am pretty tickled. It\’s awesome to see this \”click\” and see her motivated on her own. I wonder what tomorrow will bring…
Alright you are so lucky! Mine will go and sit, yet nothing happens. Maybe she needs some cute undies too!
Here’s what I did. You can tell me where to go if you’d like, but it worked for me. I let my daughter wear the special panites but with plastic pants over them. That way, if there was an accident, there wasn’t as much of a mess. The problem with diapers is that they never feel the uncomfortableness of a wet diaper (thanks to modern technology). So, if she learns that wetting her panties is really not a plesant expirience, then she’ll learn not to do it. Once we finally figured that out, it only took us a week to get our daughter potty trained. :) Hope this helps.
