Potty Training

Day 1:


First Aixah liked the potty. She liked to take it apart and then try to put it back together and then scream when she couldn't get it right. She also got a kick out of opening the top and slamming it shut a numerous amount of times...open, shut, open, shut. She tried stepping on it, coloring on it and throwing garbage in it.


OK, so now that we had established that Aixah was not afraid of the potty it was time to get serious. So I ask her, "pee pee?" And she nods and says, "pee, pee."

So I take off her pants, take off her pampers and sit her down. And this is when Aixah freaks out and clings to me as if I were about to throw her out a window. Uh Oh, not good. I don't pressure her. I put her pamper back on and she puts her pants on, the fastest ever.


She naps, I nap and then, sucess! She's not afraid of the potty. She hasn't peed in it either but at least now she sits on it butt naked. Either we are progressing or she just likes to be butt naked.



She likes to sit on it and color. Every time I glance over to her she gives me a nod of encouragement and says, "pee, pee."

Not bad for Day 1, right? At least she hasn't peed on the floor.
