At one point I was loading the dishwasher and she came walking towards me with her potty bowl full of pee...unfortunately before I could get to her she dropped it...upside down. She was so distraught I had to fill it with "pretend" pee (water) so we could complete the bathroom routine of dumping it into the toilet and flushing. We stuck with 2 jelly-beans per pee and she was more than pleased with that. We got out of the house twice for a break and put her in a pull-up each time. Each time got home she had pooped so you can tell she is holding it waiting till she has a diaper on. Which is totally fine with me! I just want to get started on the potty use I dont need to rush it all.
Tegan definitely understands what we want her to do now. Her last two accidents she was quite upset about. One she peed in her bedroom and came running to me saying "oh no!! pee! no no!" (previously she would announce her peeing on the floor proudly and then attempt to dance in it). The last time she was kinda wiggling around the living room looking like she had to go and before she could make it to the potty she peed. She immediately burst into tears and wanted hugs from mommy and daddy. Which of course we gave her plenty of! and told her it was ok she was just learning and she was doing so well!
I'm also trying extra hard to spend a lot of time and energy down on the floor playing with her in between potty attempts. I dont want her to be mad or annoyed or frustrated at the process. I want to celebrate her successes and have fun in the meantime. Now do I drop Tegan off at daycare naked with her potty, laptop and a bag of jelly beans next Tuesday...
