Ready, set... not yet!
So i guess she isnt as ready for Pt as we thought. She does make it through a nap or over night without a wet diaper occationally, but during the day.. she cant go more than about an hour before needing to pee. Today we tried undies and in 1 hour, even with constant reminders, multiple visits to the potty, she managed to go through 2 pairs of undies. It was like she didnt know that she needed to pee until it came out.
She happily sat on the potty when asked to, 4 times in that one hour. she wanted to wipe and flush and go through the motions, but she couldnt pee. It was kind of a test for me, to see if she was ready.... I am sure 1 hour isnt enough to start. i know that, but it certainly gave us a good indicator of readiness.
Advice, comments.... TIA.
Sigh.....
Re: Ready, set... not yet!
looks like we are in the same boat... KU and un-pt-ed toddler.
have you tried being naked below the waist?
lula and i are pt-ing right now and we started (and failed) in pull-ups and panties - it just felt like i diaper (i think). but - as soon as i got her naked (well - she's been running around in a long sleeve shirt and babylegs all week) something clicked. yesterday we had 3 or 4 accidents - today we've had none.
i'm feeling super pregnant and super tired and the first two days i wanted to give up like CRAZY... keep trying - don't give up. have a "no-returns" attitude and she'll catch on.
good luck!
**also - one hour is not a good indicator of readiness.
accidents are going to happen. just get ready for that. hopefully you'll make a little progress everyday though.
