I am dying, seriously dying to get out of the diaper stage. I know that babies are so cute and you never want them to get any bigger Yada yada.....but I have been changing 3 of them. Not diapers, babies. For 7 months now I have had three in diapers, and frankly I am sick and tired of changing diapers seven million times a day.
Jennedy is 2 now and I really want her to get on with the training portion of her toilet adventures. But she refuses. I have had her sit and try and she is fine with that, but the moment she is off, no matter how long she sat she will go and do her business on the floor. What is up with that.
Every time I change her I give her the talk that goes something like this
So where do big girls go poo poo, or pee pee?
In the potty
And where you should you go potty
She points to her diaper
Nooooooo sweetie
She laughs
When are you going to potty train
Potty train, muvers day
What?!?! Mothers day
Ess
Noooooo
Essssssss
And There you have it
She has decided that the day she will be ready to be potty trained is not until mothers day. (It would be one heck of a mothers day gift is she really just potty trained herself that day with no help from me.)
I don't know if I can wait but she seems pretty determined and not even chocolate will sway her so far. Any ideas? She is one determined little munchkin.
Excellente! Perfecto!

10 people feeding my addiction to comments:
Well, that's only like 6 more months!
It is hard to wait, but in my experience they are so much easier to train when they are older and ready....patience on Mom's end pays off in the long run! I actually did have a couple kids that did it on their own! It was great! Maybe you will have a great Mother's Day!
I think it's cute that she considers it a gift she could give you on mothers day. Good luck with the potty training....it's one of my least favorite things.
And yes you can put me in your sidebar.
Tiffany, you didn't have your email address in your profile, or I would email you.
Do you still practice social work? I'm an SSW, and have been in the field for about 10 years. I work for Salt Lake County now, and I really like it.
Oh, and thank you for you kind words. You are so sweet.
You can just reply to my comment. My email address is set up.
Potty Training in less than a day worked wonders for me. Got the doll, treats and spent a day with the boys and they were set! A junked out day was worth it! Basics of it, the child teachers the doll to go potty in the potty and in turn they teach themselves. Good luck cous!
Little kids are so darn smart! They know how much their parents want them to become trained, and I think they LOVE the idea that this is one area where THEY ARE IN CONTROL! Seriously, THEY HAVE THE POWER! Good luck changing her mind! ;)
POP POP'S PERFECT POTTY PLAN..A FAIL SAFE METHOD.
Try this: 1. Use the doll first, then Jennedy next. When the doll or she sits on the potty each time something magically appears in the pot (distract her) don't let her see how, take her picture and show it to her on digital replay. Make her potty the place to get attention, read a book, devour an all day sucker, take and see cool pictures, including funny faces where she can see them digitally instantly. This will be the new fun place to hang out. Spend time there. When she goes potty once, make an even bigger deal of it having everyone come to witness the event, the photos being taken, singing thank you very much and clapping obstreperously. This is also the awarding of M & M's official family presentation time. One M & M for #1 and 5 M & M's for #2. Give them to the older girls when they do their mature kid example...Jennedy will see that and try to immitate them.
This will work and work quickly. You can throw the diapers out for Jennedy. Even I would do it this kind of attention, motivation, and reward. Try it starting today! Let me know how quickly it works.
OK...Second idea. Show my picture, tell her politely that this is POP POP's Perfect Potty Plan and that you are to report every success, back to me ... and that should do it!
LOVE Ya,
DAD
Good luck Tiffany. Leilani was like a camel too. She would sit forever and then pee after I put the diaper back on. What worked for her was sitting on the potty chair infront of the tv-cartoons- for about 2 hours before she finally went. (I didn't have the time to sit in the bathroom that long). After about 2-3 days of this she figured out the muscle control and can now pee quickly into the toilet (in the bathroom) -Now on to #2. Good luck and let us know what works for Jennedy! You are an awesome mom!
Sorry, not to be rude...but you need to be in control of her potty training. Not her! Kids will be in diapers for the rest of their lives if it was left up to them. I have a cousin who wrote a book on how to potty train in 3 days. She believes they can be trained from 18 mos. and on. She has 6 kids and they've all been potty trained from 18 mos. to 22 mos. Go to her website: www.easypottytraining.com to get more info. Good luck!
Oh the potty wars - I'm beginning them with Jacob also, honestly it terrifies me.
