So I know Curly Top has learned lots of things the weird way .. but potty training ... the last 3 morning she has woken up dry ... but still doesn't want to use the potty ... D puts her on the potty first thing and she gets pissed and won't pee ... as soon as he puts a diaper on she'll go pee ...
She loves watching the video about learning to potty train that we got from Pull-Ups ... but still doesn't want to use the toilet or her potty chairs ...
so tonight when I got home from work we put on a pair of training underwear ... and watched that Pull-Ups video again ... she got up off the couch and I should have put her right on the potty chair but I didn't ... by the time she got across the room she started to pee ... but when she felt it and saw it on the floor she stopped ... I put her on the potty chair right away and she was soooooooo upset ... she just wouldn't go ... said she was finished ...
We put on a new pair of training underwear (not Pull-Ups ... the really thick cotton ones) ... she took 2 steps and started to pee again ... so we went right upstairs to the bathroom ... and sat on the toilet and was very upset about it ... but I sat on the floor and talked to her about peeing ... to just go ahead ... push it out ... it was OK ...
Then I figured out the magic words ... I told her if she went pee pee in the potty she could have cake (a spoon of ice cream) ... her face lit up and she pushed and went pee in the potty ... and just loved all my cheering and applauding ... (although I scared the pee out of D downstairs) ...
So we packed up all the diapers left in her room and got out the Pull-Ups ... she helped me put them all away ... but has so far not cared that she is wearing cool alert Pull-Ups ... just keeps peeing in them ... and doesn't want to go back on the potty ... so we'll see ...
