POTTY UPDATE!!!!!

Drumroll Please..........................................

MADISON IS OFFICIALLY POTTY TRAINED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She has been wearing panties everyday all day for a whole month now and has had 0 accidents... The only time she puts on a pull up is at bedtime and most of the time she wakes up dry:-)

I am one PROUD mommy!!!!

Here's a sneak peek of my Madison during our photoshoot in November.

Potty Training with the Lazy child!

Yes, I called her lazy because she is..... If people saw how Madison acted on a daily basis you would think that she would be using the potty by now. But no she likes making messes in her clothes for me to change. If I sound pissed, well, it's because I am! I'm SO frustrated to the point that I just want to put her on panties and let her sit in it until she got so disgusted with it that she would want to use the potty. Obviously, I won't do it because I don't want to have to clean up the mess. This little girl tells me when she's hungry, thirsty, what movie she wants to watch etc. but can't say the words I really want to hear... "Mom I need to use the potty"............. I've tried everything I know how to do and its not working. I've been consistent with it, I've put her in timeout, and all that stuff but nothing is working and I'm at the end of my rope trying to make Ms. Lazy use it on her own or at least tell me that she has to. She's even gotten to the point if she pees in her bed she makes it up and change her diaper and act like nothing ever happened. Another thing she does that really, really, urkes me is that if she pees on the floor she'll get something and cover it up and wont say a word. Like really Maddie, If you can do all of that, are you telling me you can't use the potty???? I've disciplined her and I've tried to talk to her so she could understand why she needs to go but nothing is working. However, I guess she is set on making my life miserable!!!! Today, I took her Disney Princesses a way (because she loves them and that's pretty much all she plays with during the day) and I'm hoping that does something if not I will gradually take all the toys out of her room until she makes up in her mind that she's going to be a big girl.

Potty Training= Headache!

How many parents are experiencing the same thing? TONS.... And what do we do about it? I'm still trying to understand why it's such a struggle for her to go to the potty. Is it because she's still dependent on me? Is she lazy? Does she just want me to change the diaper because she's still in baby mode? I ask these questions because I don't know. This little 3 year old girl of mine can ask for anything and can do just about anything except tell me that she has to potty or even just go on her on. She knows all of her colors, can count to 20, knows her ABC's etc. I thought it would be easier to train her because I stay home with her... NOT! hahaha... I just don't understand! Maybe one day it will happen but its really working that little nerve I have left, especially because I have another little one on the way. HELP:-(
