Started potty training as soon as we purchased the tickets for pakistan... so far have had quite a few accidents. i thought this missy would get it faster than aapi but it seems to be going a bit slower.. could be 'cuz i put diaper on her almost everyday when we are going out. i haven't limited my outside time 'cuz it's summer and the days are lonnng and i have a tough time entertaining them after their nap (around 3-4pm) and before dh comes home (between 9:30 (on good days) - 10pm)...
anyhow, she has consistently done #2 in her underpants or diapers. she doesn't tell me until after she's done. at the beginning (last week) i questioned her as to why she doesn't tell me about #1 and her answer was, "it coming too fast mama!" bless her tiny heart! May Allah protect them from all that is evil, or remotely evil.
i found a link where this lady calls herself the "potty whisperer"...she trains 2-3 yos how to do potty. basic premise is that you tell the kids they are responsible for their own potty. when it comes, they run and do it. if accidents happen, they clean it up. Now, my question is how on earth do they clean the carpet? and how do you enforce it when they do not want to do it? and if they do #2 on the floor or in the underpants, especially on carpet? hmmm.. i'm sure if i ponder long enuf, i would be able to find some solution to this.. but the brain is on snooze and it's easier to just mechanically clean up myself than have patience to teach her to... how sad is that? if i just change my attitude to "wow, how exciting that my baby is learning this very mature phase and i'm honored by my Lord to be a part of the whole thing, all the ups and the not-so-ups"..
