Unexpected toilet training fun

DoctorWorm222 · April 2013

We're doing really well with the following exceptions:

1) She doesn't really understand the difference between a poop and a fart. Its a PITA to get her all undressed so she can sit on the potty when she only needs to fart. And she still insists that she needs to wipe and flush. More disturbingly, she gets pretty upset when she hears someone else (namely, me) fart. She makes a big dramatic scene of it, pointing at the guilty party and yelling "Poop! Poop! Poop!" So much for being discreet.

2) The clever little beast has realized that we respond when she tells us she needs to potty, so she's incorporated this into her bedtime evasion routine. I put her into her bed, and she starts yelling "Poop! Poop!" and pointing to her butt. It seems that she's learned to lie.

3) She associates the toilet with books. Every time she sits down to potty, it takes *forever* because she has to look through all her books before she'll stand up.

4) She's totally obsessed with tissues and toilet paper. She wants to wiper her nose and her bottom all by herself -- often with the same piece of TP. We have the same discussion every.single.day. Keep your boogers out of your vag and your excrement off your nose!

5) Cupcakes and wine to anyone who can convince E that you need not get totally naked to use the toilet.

Sheesh.
