Potty Schmotty


So we bought Davey a Training Potty last week and I thought tonight might be a good time to try it. I did it on a night Ryan was working so he wouldn't question my method/ideas...LOL



So after dinner and a little Sonny With A Chance on Disney I took Davey's diaper off and said "Let's go potty!!!" and I took her to the bathroom so she could see how it's done and then told her to sit on HER potty and go pee-pee. She sat without hesitation, because at this point she just thinks a conveniently placed chair that has a whole in it. I am convinced she knows exactly what I'm asking her to do, but she's just not feeling comfortable letting go while sitting in a chair without a diaper on. After 20 minutes of hanging out in the bathroom and trying to keep her relaxed and get her used to the chair I can see that she needs to go. I tell her to use her potty but she just refuses, instead she wants to close the lid and sit or put her foot inside of the potty. I tried a couple of times to kinda "keep" her sitting there (which she really didn't like) and then I went back out to the living room. We weren't there 2 seconds before she started to pee on the carpet!! I yelped, grabbed her and planted her on the potty. Boy does this girl know how to hold it in!! 2 or 3 drops fell before she clamped shut. Still, I was clapping and telling her how great she was and showed her what I was proud of. Poor thing,... imagine if your mom told you, ok kiddo, you've reached 35 and you must now pee with a diaper on. ICK! It must be the same type of unexpected weirdness! I think I'm going to pick up a potty training book for some tips because obviously it's going to take some serious effort!
