Here was our morning:
9:30 – Breakfast is over, Alethea’s diaper comes off
9:35 – I give her a cup of watered down apple juice, which she drinks as she alternates between playing in the living room and sitting on the potty chair
10:30 – Alethea asks for a pull-up and I know we’re getting close as I tell her, “No diapers this morning!”
10:45 – Alethea gets cranky and aggressive and I know we’re getting really close
10:50 – After peeing just a teeny tiny bit, Alethea gets to watch an episode of Clifford, but I refuse her request for a pull-up
11:10 – Alethea starts shouting, “Potty, potty!” and finally manages to really go
11:12 – Alethea enjoys the rewards of her efforts: fruit-snacks and more Clifford!
The war is by no means over, but this was a big battle. And I won!!!
Great Job, Elise! Keep strong.
Congrats!!!! Ava has made it 24 hours with no potty in her diaper, but by my doing. She doesn’t tell me she has to go, she just goes everytime I put her on the potty (1.5-2 hrs). I wish she would yell “potty potty!”
