Been almost a week
We have been potty training for nearly a week and so far it has been going a mix between stressful, frustrating, and good. We have had three pee pees in the potty. Now not days but three pee pees in the potty.
Maybe you are wondering what all we are doing. Well I am going to tell you. We have a little chart hung up on the wall by the potty chair and we color in a minnie mouse when she pees or poops (which she has not made a poop in the potty yet but she will one day haha). She gets a small prize once she pees five times in the potty and after so many pees and poops she will get a big prize.
Yes, we are using pull ups and I know what some parents may be thinking, that it is a big no as it does not teach them anything and that it is just makes me think that they are wearing a diaper and are just a waste of money. Well that is your opinion and I am not here to tell you that your way have thinking or potty training is wrong so please keep doing you and we will keep doing us. There is a few reasons why we are using pull ups and I am just not going to get into them.
We set up a timer (it is a timer on our phones) for 30 minutes and once that timer goes off we go to the potty chair where we sit and wait for at least two minutes, sometimes longer.
The three times she has pee pee in the potty chair we have cheered and danced around and told her how proud we are of her. Also when she gets up off the potty chair we make sure we tell her to let us know when she has to pee pee or poop. So far she hasnt told us but I know she will get the hang of this.
Yes, I wish she was already potty trained and wearing panties but I am not going to rush her as I do not want her to be afraid to go to the potty chair. Yes, I know it may take a while to get her fully potty trained and I am looking forward to those days. The days of no diapers or pull ups. Oh how sweet those days will be. I also know that once she is fully trained that she may still have accidents and that will be okay as accidents happens.
