Potty Mouth
I hate to have to even bring this up but I'm tired of things going they way they are so I'm throwing this out there to see if anyone can help me! Rory is 3.5 years and has been partially potty trained for over a year now but still refuses to go poop in the potty! We would put diapers on her at night and she would just wait until she had a diaper on and then go! So right after we put her in bed she'd come out and need to be changed. So we tried making her have to clean herself up and that didn't work and just made more work for me. We tried bribes and taking things away but she just doesn't care! Two weeks ago we decided to take away the night time diaper and see what she would do, well she can stay dry all night, wetting the bed is not a problem. She will go pee right before bed and when she wakes up but still no poop, except now she goes in her panties!!!!! She totally knows when it's coming but just refuses to use the toilet! AUGH!! So anyway that is the dilemma and I'd appreciate any help I can get!

I feel your pain. We just solved this same problem with Braydon. He is all about friends so when he asked if his cousin Kyler could come over I told him that Kyler doesn't like to play with boys that go poop in their underwear so when you go poop in the toilet we will have Kyler come play. Then my great big sister called Braydon and said she had a special present waiting for him as soon as he used the toilet. We dorve over as soon as he finished and it has been working for 2 weeks now.
Rachel it was totally fun to see you too! Your girls are beautiful! Tell Mike hi and I'm sorry that I missed him. I am so happy that you have a blog!!
I have heard of this kind of thing before! I guess some kids have a really hard time using the toilet for number 2. It is actually really scary for some kids I guess. Maybe look around online or have your psychologist hubby figure this one out for practice. :) I'll keep my eyes and ears peeled for any info to share with you. Let me know what you find out! I am curious now!
Bailey is potty trained, but still wears a diaper to bed. Every morning she would stink her diaper right after she woke up. We decided that we would have Bailey "teach" Claire how we don't stink diapers in the morning. Everytime she was clean in the morning we would tell Claire what a big girl Bailey was and show Claire the clean diaper. Bailey thought she was so big teaching her sister that she hasn't done it since.
that is a tough one! i would have her clean out her own undies, if you don't already. my mind is coming up blank sorry i don't have any good suggestions!! good luck!!
Rachel take her to buy some "special panties"....make sure that she really loves them....then when she goes in them, tell her that they are just going to get thrown away. I did this with my Parker and he was so sad to see the undies tossed, that he never went in them again. Anyway it is worth a try. Good luck!
