Number one: Liam sitting up.



The other thing is potty training...this is what she did while on the potty.


We started out pretty good, but have found that she cannot, and I mean CANNOT stand the sensation of going. The concentration it takes for her to relax and let it out is bordering on ridiculous.
So I backed off. We have taken a break. The tantrums are too much.
You got any ideas?
Stickers worked for a while. Then we tried a movie for motivation. Then a little candy worked.
The pediatrician said maybe coins in a jar so she can see them adding up.
Once she figured out it was basically just to get her to go on the potty, she quit.
Too smart for her own good, if you ask me!
Now we just ask her to tell us when she needs to be changed, and that clean and dry is the way she needs to be.
Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. Maybe I was too sudden with all of this...
She likes to take things slow and have full explanations while doing it. Then she explains it back to you.
*sigh*
More to come on this in the next few weeks I am sure... :)
