Yesterday, I successfully got her to wear panties all day, except during nap. But during her nap she did stay dry. We went on the potty every hour and I asked her as often as I felt necessary. Not once did she actually go on the potty, but she did willingly sit on it (while being entertained by her special Elmo sticker activity book). We had 2 actual accidents, meaning she is more than able to hold it for long periods of time.
Today she went back to daycare and panties-only continued there. I was told that she held it all the way until mid afternoon, and then she wet herself. Not once did she actually go into the potty.Once we got home, I tried giving her a special snack while she sat on the potty; she just wanted to take the snack and walk away with it.
I bought a bunch of goodies the other day that were on sale at Kmart for super cheap ("Manager's Special"). I have a couple little things stashed in the medicine cabinet for if she actually goes into the toilet, though I may just do the song and dance thing. Maybe I will save those for the first day goes accident-free...what do you think?
That's really good!! How old is she? The fact that she can hold for so long is a really good sign!
ReplyDeleteShe's getting close to 2 1/2. I hope you're right about that being a good sign!
DeleteBefore you know it, she will be a little pro at this. Just keep doing what you are doing making her feel proud of herself when she does well, I did the same for my son. I applauded and danced too whenever he did well in this area and he was very motivated to potty each time the right momma taught him. Ha ha...and treats never hurt!
