So we had been working on potty training with the braces on for a few months. We were excited as she seemed to like wearing her underwear and getting praise for going on the potty chair. I was thinking she was well on her way and would be trained by the time baby #2 arrived in April. At this time, it does NOT appear to be going as well as it did at first. She does not tell us when she has to go, will sit in her wet/ dirty underwear, and does not seem excited to receive the praise for going as she once did. She DOES like to wear underwear (which because of the braces, we have had to cut off of her when she wets/ dirtys them to avoid more mess on the braces!) I have tried telling her she can wear the underwear ONLY after she goes on the potty chair, but this has not been enough to motivate her..... much to my frustration!
It is wonderful that the snow is melting and the sun is shining....Hannah loves the outdoors and we even ventured out (utilized the Tingly Rubber Boots over the braces!) which worked wonderfully! Now it is off looking for a stroller that will accommodate a toddler that can't bend her legs to put them on a footrest! This may be a challenge, but I am hopeful!

Kids lose their potty trained ability once #2 comes anyway. Hopefully after she gets adjusted to the new baby, she will jump at the chance to be the big girl and show the baby how she can go potty on the toilet! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWe went through that cycle with Madison so many times before she was finally trained. Just when it looked like she was trained, we would end up starting all over again. I think it has something to do with their stubborn side :) Good Luck!
