I did it! I really peed!
Madison has been saying this everytime she sits on her potty seat, but never has results. This time she really did do it! She really peed! ![]() I was a little discouraged for awhile, because a year ago she was so interested in going to the potty. She was always wanting to read potty books, watch potty movies, and sit on her seat. Then she just lost interest in it. Well, I know now that it was just a new thing to her and it got old, like most things will eventually. Yes, had I really pushed the issue then, I may have been able to completely train her at that point. But... she wasn't ready and her doctor told me not to push it yet, as that can make it harder in the long run when the rebel against the pushing. So I didn't. I decided to wait until she was really wanting to do it herself. Or until she turned 3, whichever came first. That is the age that her doctor said we needed to start pushing her to do it on her own. Well, a few weeks ago she just started wanting to sit on her potty. She would tell me she had to pee, so I let her sit there. Except for a few times where she tinkled just a tiny bit on the big toilet, though, she would sit there, sometimes straining, with no results. Although she kept telling me that she really peed. I always praised her efforts, but made sure she could see that nothing had happened. I wanted her to really know the difference when something did happen. And it did today! She just kept staring in there like... ohhhhh, that is what is supposed to happen! It's just so funny, because she did it a year ago, but it had been quite awhile since she had done anything. Hopefully she only gets better from here. Maybe someday she will even do a #2 in there! LOL! So far she has no interest whatsoever in that! K |
