There were a number of great victories today. If we keep it up, I do believe I will be able to declare our little girl “fully potty-trained” by this time next week! Among our great triumphs were being able to swim without a diaper {and proven trustworthy in that regard!} and also asking to go to the restroom rather than being told that it was time.
That’s right. After three grandmas {well, two great grandmas and one grandma} telling me that I should figure out how long she can wait between bathroom breaks and then set a timer for that amount, I finally gave in. A couple days ago, I began setting a timer for twenty-five minutes. This is when the number of failures declined significantly.
It’s been much less stressful ever since.
And tonight, we made a trip to Great Gran’s house. She survived the ride without incident, and the lack of timer was of no consequence because she became self-aware enough to ask to go.
It was great.
So here are the scores:
Successes +12
Failures -1
Major Failures 0
Naptime Bonus +2
Overnight Bonus 0
Today’s total is +13.
She will not be going to Sunday School tomorrow {just the main service as a family}, so this gives me one more week to perfect her new skill.
