My journey of parenting

watching her grow and experiencing the joy of parenting as she grows….

Potty training – IV April 29, 2008

The potty training saga still lives on in our household….Little miss V has made some progress since last time I blogged about it. But  have noticed that she thinks that potty is only for poop. The amazing part is once she poops she will not sit on the potty even for a second. She stands up and says “diaper change” that’s a relief at least she knows it’s yucky! However she has not realized that potty can be used for peeing as well. Another challenge that we have with miss V is her telling us when she wants to poop or pee. We have to keep a close watch on her and once she looks like she is about to poop/pee we have to rush her to the potty. As for peeing, she  holds it for a long time, when she is not wearing diapers. She held it for 3 hours until bedtime last night and finally we had to put a diaper on her.

I think our main challenge is CONSISTENCY . They have not started potty training her at the day care yet, so CONSISTENCY is the real challenge.  So, here is something what I am thinking of doing while she is at home.

  • Keep giving her something to drink frequently
  • Take her to the potty in every 30 minutes
  • Apply Naked and $75 method.

I have set a goal of  having her diaper free by end of May.We will see how it goes.
