Big Girl Panties

So far, potty training has been unsuccessful. Nothing seems to work. We've tried everything. I made a sticker chart... she could care less. We've bribed her with treats... doesn't work, she just throws a fit when she doesn't get them. We've tried bathroom breaks every 30 - 45 minutes... nothing ever happens. So now I'm trying "Big Girl Panties!" I was hoping it would encourage her to start using the potty. When I first put them on her, she felt so proud. She said "I'm a big girl Mommy!" I thought to myself this could be our big break - the panties will do the trick. WRONG! As much as she likes wearing the panties, she likes to pee and poop in them even more! The other night, after a trip to the potty with no success, she ran into the living room and pee'd in her panties and all over the floor. And she justs laughs and laughs! Trying to stay cool and let her know that we don't pee pee in our panties, I cleaned up the puddle in the floor, I changed her, put her in a new pair of panties and not five minutes later that little stinker pooped in them! I hear her calling me from the other room, "Mommy, I pooped!" I walked into Kevin's office and sure enough, poop... all over the floor! At this point, she went back into the diaper as I cleaned up the poop. First night of panties - no success. The best part of the whole story was I missed a turd and the next day she called me into the office and told me I forgot to pick up some poop. Anyway, since then we have continued the panty thing but she still continues to pee and poop in them. But starting next week, her daycare is having a potty training boot camp. Maybe they will have better luck than me. Either way, she still looks pretty darn cute in her Big Girl Panties.

  2. A good friend of mine is trying to PT her daughter as well with NO LUCK either. We've even resorted to me calling Stella and telling her that Aunt Gracie can't go shopping with baby girls that still wear diapers ... at one point we even told her that Santa doesn't come and visit 3 year olds in diapers... all to no avail - she just doesn't care.
    Finally Lindsey has put her special potty in front of the tv and just makes Stella sit on it all day long while she watches cartoon.

    Good luck! I hope boot camp works!
    See y'all in the fall!
