i’m not going to lie…we have been putting potty training for avery off for a VERY long time! she has shown interest in going on the potty since at least a year ago. we finally decided to bite the bullet on sunday and prepared by going and let her pick out her big girl panties as well as picking up the potty pressies we use to reward her for going.
as soon as we got home from church sunday, we took off her pull-up and put her in panties. we stayed around the house, asked her every 15 minutes if she needed to go, etc and she did pretty well! she never told us she needed to go {although she did tell us she needed a potty pressie
monday, she started off the day having a few accidents while eating breakfast {in her defense, she just downed a sippy full of juice/water}. then we had a #2 accident but after that, it wasn’t horrible {I also wasn’t pushing her drink very much
tuesday was similar to monday as far as accidents and she still wasn’t telling me she needed to go. we also had soccer practice for evan and she had an accident there about 4 seconds after I had asked her if she needed to go {frustrating!}
wednesday started off great with her going #2 on the potty for the first time but was also my breaking point. there were a few accidents in the morning, she did fine when we had to go to evan’s speech, and then had more accidents when we got home. she would have them right after I asked her if she wanted to go. she wouldn’t tell me she needed to go. she didn’t care AT ALL if she went in her panties. she would just keep going like it wasn’t there. that was when I decided enough was enough! I couldn’t force her to tell me she needed to go and if she went in her panties and just didn’t care, there was nothing I could do about it! so I threw in the towel! we will make another attempt in a few months and go from there! hopefully she’ll care a little more then
