potty training

[Guest guest]

Phoebe is wearing Knickers today.. (hers and my choice ;o) ) barbie ones ;o)..

I had decided once we got home from holiday to go for it as I felt this would be

a good time with us being on holiday we could really take our time about it..

(no playgroup etc) And a luck would have it this morning she asked for her

Barbie Knickers and when I said to remember we then needed to use potty and

toilet she agreed ;o)..

I have made a big sticky chart to put stickers on when she sits on the potty,...

She went ALL morning without doing anything I was getting a little worried but

tried my hardest not to ask her if she needed to go I just occasionally made do

with reminding her that she needed to use the potty or her barbiepants would get

wet..

Just before Lunch time she looked like she was in need of potty so I did suggest

it and she agreed and went and sat on potty for about 30 sec's nothing but she

did get a sticker (slow baby steps I am thinking ;o) ) We sat down and started

eating lunch when she suddenly said my bottom hurts.. I suggested she go to the

potty but she wanted to go upstairs.. I assumed this meant she wanted the toilet

(we have a toilet seat up there) so went with her but she went to go to her room

(where changing unit is) only just got to the door when the floods opened.. I

have NEVER seem that much wee in one little girl there must have been at least 2

litre's worth.. I just told her to stay where she was to finish (carpet was wet

anyway) and then we had a clean up and new fresh knickers on.. then a little

chat about next time her bottom hurt she would have to try the potty and she

agreed ;o).. So I am feeling rather happy about it all.. I am certain that she

recognised the need to go but didn't quite know what to do with it as we

normally go to the changing table not the potty so we probably need to work on

that a little but it is MEGA progress as she never before has seemed to actually

have any idea on the need to go ;o)..

Let's see how the rest of the day goes.. I have however decided that I won't go

out to see my friend tomorrow she can come here if she want's but I think Phoebe

needs some staying at home time whilst we get this new thing ;o)

My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what you

start.

So far today, I have finished 2 bags of chips and a Chocolate cake.

I feel better already.
