The Princess and the Potty Chart

*


The evening of Potty Party Day 2007 was a tough one for all of us. Goldie couldn't sleep. I couldn't sleep. We were stressed out. I had to decide what to do. Do I turn tail and reapply diaper or stick it out? Being the stubborn broad I am I decided to stick it out. I am so glad I did. The little bugger figured it out the very next day and has only had a handful of accidents since last Friday. She pooped in the potty today without any prompting. I never wanted to hug a turd so badly in my life. I would say she is about 90% there. Here is the lowdown:

• Goldie is in real panties all day except for Pull-Ups for naps/nighttime. No exceptions.



• When she wets her pants (4 times in one week) She cleans up the mess to her ability and changes her own clothes. I remind her that I don't like her to wet her pants sternly, but not angrily.



• I have her check potty once every 30 minutes to avoid accidents.



• I plan on spending about a month with the half-hourly checks.
  

I am so proud of my big girl

*While it may look like Goldie's handwriting on the potty chart, I assure you that although she is extremely bright, it wasn't her. A stranger with really bad handwriting broke into my house with a sharpie when we were sleeping.
