Potty Paraphenalia

Our house is littered with different potties and potty rings! I'm constantly tripping over a toilet ring as Tegan refuses to leave them in the bathroom. At least she has stopped trying to wear them as necklaces!! So the Diego toilet ring at daycare did not work. Apparently Tegan was super pumped about her toilet ring but when it came down to it she would not get on the toilet with it and freaked out. So the daycare said she could bring her own little potty and she would just keep it in the garage when its not in use (apparently its a health violation or something to have it in the actual daycare). So Friday Tegan headed there with her pink potty and used it successfully all day. So going potty in the toilet at home is 100%. Using the potty at daycare is now back in business.

Next up is tackling outside. I've started letting her play in the backyard and go for walks in her panties to see how she does and so far she has just held it till we got home. I did take her to the mall the other night though and she peed her pants without even letting me know she had to go. When I took her to the mall bathroom with her portable potty toilet ring, she freaked out and refused to sit on the toilet there saying she would fall in. So not sure how to move forward from here. I cant carry a big potty with me every where we go. I wonder when she will get over the falling in the toilet thing!

We've also reduced the treat to two smarties or jellybeans and only when she actually asks for them. If its right before bed we tell her she has to wait until the morning and first thing in the morning she never asks for them. Usually in the afternoon though she remembers her rewards! Might try offering some stickers today.
