Why not? Our life is pretty calm, low-strees, and consistent. Huh? Well, if I waited for these factors she'd be in diapers through out next two moves.
We had a 50% success rate today. That is better than 0%. If I had remembered to take her to the potty, she would have gone more. However, since at this point I can barely remember to brush my teeth in the morning...we have some serious work to do.
My plan: No diapers during the day including nap time. For two weeks. I can reevaluate our progress then. And decide to continue forward or wait a bit longer. She already knows what to do when she is set on the potty; now timing is the key...and of course getting her to tell me BEFORE hand.
If you think I lack a little confidence its because this is my fourth time doing this potty training thing. And if I know one thing, there is no right way to do it. If I push her too much she'll regress. If I don't push enough it won't work. Frankly, I wish she would just do it herself. Then I wouldn't have to ponder over silly things like stickers vs. M&M's or timers vs. asking her if she has to go. I am over the diaper thing. Now if only she'll buy in to my plan....
I'll keep you up on our progress.
