MY DAUGHTER WILL BE 3 DECEMBER 20TH, AND SHE'S BEEN PEEING IN THE POTTY SINCE SHE WAS ABOUT A YEAR OLD.
SHE STILL REFUSES TO TELL US WHEN SHE HAS TO GO, WHICH DRIVES ME NUTS, AND SHE LIKES TO 'HOLD' IT SO SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO STOP WATCHING BLUES CLUES, OR PLAYING WITH HER TOYS.
(WHOEVER SAID TWO YEAR OLDS CAN'T LIE IS FULL OF IT--MY DAUGHTER ROUTINELY SWEARS SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO GO POTTY, BUT IF I MAKE HER GO TO THE BATHROOM, SHE GOES FOREVER, LIKE SHE'S NEVER PEED IN HER ENTIRE LIFE!)
WE STILL HAVE TO SING A LITTLE DITTY SOMETIMES TO ENTICE HER TO TRY, TO THE TUNE OF 'TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR'; EXCEPT FOR US, IT'S 'TINKLE, TINKLE, LITTLE SQUIRREL'.
SOMETIMES, SHE'LL EVEN PRETEND TO GO WHEN SHE'S NOT, BY MAKING THIS LITTLE HISSING NOISE AND THEN SAYING, 'DONE!'. (LIKE YOU CAN'T SEE THAT SHE'S MAKING THE NOISE!)
SO FAR, SHE'S ONLY DONE NUMBER TWO IN THE POTTY ONCE, AND THAT WAS BECAUSE SHE GOT THE 'VACANT, POOPY LOOK' ON HER FACE AND I SNATCHED HER UP AND RAN TO THE BATHROOM WITH HER.
SHE ALSO HAS THIS REALLY BAD HABIT OF POOPING IN THE TUB, OR IN THE SWIMMING POOL.
UNTIL WE GOT THE POOL, WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE WARM WATER, BUT THE POOL HAD JUST BEEN FILLED AND WAS PRETTY COLD, SO THAT'S NOT IT.
SO...IT LOOKS LIKE THE PULL-UPS ARE A PERMANENT FIXTURE, AT LEAST FOR A WHILE. SHE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT REWARDS OR STICKERS. WE TRIED HERSHEY'S KISSES FOR GOING TO THE POTTY, BUT SHE MUST BE THE ONLY FEMALE IN THE UNIVERSE WHO DOESN'T LIKE CHOCOLATE. eek
AT THIS POINT, I'M NOT TOO WORRIED ABOUT IT. I FIGURE SHE'LL GET TO IT WHEN SHE'S READY. I'M JUST HOPING SHE WON'T LET IT DRAG ON SO LONG THAT IT BECOMES A BAD HABIT TO NOT GO UNTIL SHE ABSOLUTELY HAS TO. I REALLY DON'T WANT HER GETTING EMBARRASSED IN KINDERGARTEN OR SOMETHING.

Lasseg: Sounds about right. Kay doesn't want to miss the "more imortant" things in life either.
For a while she was doing well with the sticker chart, but even that doesn't seem to be incentive anymore. Candy, the prospect of "Big Girl" underwear, nothing seems to interest her in the toilet right now. It's really frustrating 'caues for so long she was doing so well...
