I also appear to have her older brother convinced that purple medicine (aka Motrin) helps him poop. When he gets really scared of pooping, he asks for purple medicine. I guess we have to do whatever works??Heidi Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994365949068595464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531270885473919778.post-71679134337106908592012-07-06T19:53:50.773-07:002012-07-06T19:53:50.773-07:00Thankfully, thankfully, thankfully those days are ...Thankfully, thankfully, thankfully those days are well behind me. I had a set of two year old twin boys (not mine) but lived with me. I finally sat "the slow learner" one on his potty and gave him glass after glass of water until he peed. And after an hour or so, it happened and we had the biggest party.Crack You Whiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03071785490304845124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531270885473919778.post-80535454270035319052012-07-06T08:21:49.031-07:002012-07-06T08:21:49.031-07:00Hello Heidi, I am lucky that your mother was a goo...Hello Heidi, I am lucky that your mother was a good patient person during your potty training. I was at sea or at work when most of this training was done. So all I can say is to stay patient, Love DaddyOld Salty doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01807588087259591110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531270885473919778.post-55329641588153687852012-07-06T06:14:18.911-07:002012-07-06T06:14:18.911-07:00Pull ups are a must at night...are you kidding?? ...Pull ups are a must at night...are you kidding?? I am just praying that I can get both of them to do what they are supposed to do during the day :) One day, I will laugh about this, and it will seem absurd that it was so difficult. Until then, I have coffee...and wine...not at the same time thoughHeidi Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994365949068595464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531270885473919778.post-21818607543974710822012-07-06T02:14:01.712-07:002012-07-06T02:14:01.712-07:00Heidi,
Oh my Lord, I remember those days. You a...Heidi, <br /><br />Oh my Lord, I remember those days. You are not alone. <br /><br />Everyone told me to start Tall on PT when he was 2, but I was pregnant with Short, so I waited. Then I had a newborn, so I waited. Finally (like you, because of preschool with strict rules), I knew I had to make my move. We also went "commando" (no clothes) and that is what finally helped. Notice I do not say "did the trick." It helped. But Tall would inevitably need to go #2 right when I was putting the baby down for a nap, so he would call out, "Mommy! I need help wiping!" and wake the baby up. <br /><br />I definitely questioned my sanity in those moments. It is hard to be the nice, calm mommy that everyone expects of you. I yelled, for sure. Threatened. Bribed. Cried. Drank. Not necessarily in that order. <br /><br />My kids are now 6 and 8 and everyone goes when/ where they should. But I do have to be pushy and remind them if I see them doing the "hold the pee" dance ("Do you need to go to the bathroom? Why don't you go real quick! Really! Zip to the bathroom!). <br /><br />The younger one still wears pull-ups at night because I got tired of changing sheets and pajamas in the middle of the night for several weeks-- I just gave in to Huggies, thank God.<br /><br />Good luck with everything. You will get through it, I promise. <br /><br />best,<br />MOVMOVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782183723607923501noreply@blogger.com
