Potty diaries

I borrowed the title from a friend's blog. Thanks-you know who!

I've started trying to potty train K again. Wednesday went pretty good. I've discovered her "reward" She likes to have her toes painted, but I haven't done it since warm weather. So I told her that if she peed in the potty, I would paint her toes. She kept her pull-up dry all morning and peed twice in the potty. So I painted one foot the first time and the other the next time. (Funny side note: did you know that girls can spray just as well as boys? yeah, I got sprayed) I told her that if she did the other in the potty, I would paint her fingernails (minus the one she sucks). But alas, that never happened. Instead the did that in her pull-up. So as "punishment" I took off the polish on her toes and told her that we would try again. I have decided that if I have to paint and re-paint her toes and/or fingernails every day, I will---if it helps get her trained!

Thursday was not such a good day, but we were gone all morning. I always have issues once she gets up from her nap, I think cuz I'm busy getting dinner and forget to ask her. We will keep trying as often as we can and see what we can accomplish this time.

I hope it all goes well for you. It's annoying how time-consuming it can be...but hopefully both our lil girls will get the hang of it FAST for us. :)

YES, girls can spray. I was as shocked as you! Although some don't as much -- experience of having two girls. I'm not looking forward to potty training a boy, but will start this spring/summer.

I feel your pain! We started Luke in big boy underwear this week. He's actually doing very well with the peeing, but not so good with the other stuff. What is it about that that makes them want to do it in their pants?
