I'd have to say that between school, housework and now moving it has been difficult to stay on track. Not everything happens as planned but I think we are making some progress. This past week we, and I say we because this is a journey for both mother and daughter(or son), have accomplished doing number "1" in the potty!!! She has been so good about letting me know when she is havin a bowel movement by her face and stance. She will grunt and her face gets red when it is time then I just run her to the potty.
So far I have tried praising her after each try that she leaves something in the potty and began using pull-ups. I think she gets how to pull them up and down but pretty much sees them like another diaper that she can just pee in. No luck there, so I will check those two ideas off of the "not worth the effort" list.
This week I am thinking of trying a sticker chart. Every day I will take her to the potty or if she might happen to let me know she needs to go potty I will reward her with a sticker! We will be moving Sunday (6 days!!) and it isn't very realistic to try the most effective method as of yet. I am so excited to try letting her run around naked (ya right) for three days....that will come later.
