WHAT'S SO HARD ABOUT POOPING?

Apparently a lot.

Joey took to peeing on the big girl potty pretty easily.

We kinda followed the Christina method.

Christina is KaKi's neighbor and used to babysit kids.

You take 3 days and spend it at home, with your kid, constantly.

No diapers.

1st day - Set a timer. Every couple of minutes, you go sit on the potty. You are trying to catch that first pee-pee. After you do, you can lengthen the intervals before forced potty breaks.

CANDY is a treat given whenever your child goes in the potty. More for poo-poo.

2nd day - optional panties.

3rd day- start working on having your child tell you when she/he has to go, not just you telling him/her it is time.

After that, potty trained.

Joey is still yet to poo-poo on the big girl potty. But she has been on the constipated side her whole life, and they are still as large and hard as ever I think that might be part of the problem.

She has told us several times RIGHT before it starts to come out. She even got so close that she was able to finish in the potty once, but she hasn't figured out how to notify us in time yet. She is still learning the "I gotta go" feeling.

Pee-pee she's got down.

We keep her in pull-ups overnight, but so far she is even dry then.

She still has some accidents at school, like on the playground, mainly because she doesn't want to stop playing. But even then, if she lets some go, she holds the rest for the toilet. So she has wet undies, but still goes in the potty.

I think I'm going to adjust her diet to soften her poo for about a week and see if that helps her master the feeling.

Any suggestions?

Will report back.
