So the whole 2 steps forwards, one step back. Yeah, that's us right now. Kayley has gone on potty strike. We don't know what else to do with her, and I am losing my 1 ounce of patience I do have. So we are going to take a break from this until Fri. then try approaching the issue again.
The hardest part, is knowing she has to go, but she absolutely refuses. So much for hopes she'd be done by Halloween. At this rate, we'll be lucky if she's done by Christmas. It's so frustrating when it becomes a power struggle to get her to stay on the potty.
We went to giving in to her "demands" just to get her to stay seated on the potty. Well all that has done is created a spoiled little girl. She whines over every little thing now when she doesn't get her way. So in order to preserve mommy's sanity. We are holding off for a few days.
Some may be thinking, "she's not ready". Sorry, but I have read horror stories of those who have waited until the kids are "ready" and the kid is over 4 years old. She's already showing signs of "waiting too long". Especially in the poop department. That little bugger will have poop starting to come out, and yet she refuses to sit on the potty. As soon as underwear goes on, she poops. She'll just scream and scream until she gets the underwear on. Then happily poop away.
I am at a loss.
