One thing I forgot to mention in my last post is that I’m struggling with how to move to the next step of EC. I feel like I’ve been in this holding pattern for a long time. Catching poops, missing most pees (with the exception of the first AM pee and after nap pee – and these days, those aren’t a sure bet, either!).
That said, I decided to try out a reward system… if E told me she needed to go potty and actually sat on the potty and did something she would get an M&M. (Singular… only one!). That morphed into… if E goes potty on the potty regardless of her telling me or me just trying her on the potty. So far, I’m not sure we’ve been consistent enough to determine success/failure. She definitely likes those M&M’s and wants to spend a lot of time sitting there (partially due to new “toilet only” books, I think).
Also new this week, I tried a few pairs of Gerber Training Pants (size 2T). They fit fairly well. They did not hold one full pee. E has a tendency to walk away from me and pee and so while I was in my bathroom getting ready, she walked into the hall. Not long after I heard her say “Uh Oh” and I came to see what was wrong. Wet trainers and a partially wet floor. Well, at least I know she is aware that it is wet and not what wearing pants is supposed to feel like!
