I mean dragging her out of the car and spanking her lost it and I am just not that kind of parent about anything else. I never spank and I'm usually very conscious of the fact that she's only 2. Something about potty training makes me a nervous wreck with absolutely no patience, so don't feel bad! We started potty training her about 6 months ago and she still has accidents every once in awhile, most of them being a little pee in her panties before she realizes she needs to go and tells us. Nothing messy, but we just have to change her clothes. I'm a bit envious of those people that potty train their kid in like a week and have no issues past that. It has been an ongoing thing in our house for months! It's just more gradual with her and maybe Riggs is like that too. She did really great at home just a few weeks after we started working on it, but would pee in her car seat every single time I put her in it. It didn't matter if she peed before she left home or not. I started to swear it was deliberate! We've moved past that now and she's doing great. I don't have a lot of advice other than it might take awhile. You'll probably gain some patience and do a lot lf laundry, but he'll get it eventually. We didn't use any training pants or reward system or anything like that, just jumped into it and stuck it out until she figured it out. I would have used treats, but Ev gets hung up on things that like and would never have forgotten to get one. I'd be feeding her M&Ms for peeing until she was in college. ;) we do still do diapers for nap time and night time though - haven't felt ready to tackle that one yet. Trying to decide whether to do it before second baby comes along or not. :/Andrea @ The Long Way Homenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392898925403346163.post-51304458653609865052015-01-04T22:31:48.462-09:002015-01-04T22:31:48.462-09:00I feel your pain with the potty training!! I'...I feel your pain with the potty training!! I've lost count of the attempts we've made with our boys (sadly with no success!) I have no advice except to stick with it and keep it light, they pick things up so fast when they're ready to learn fun new things!! Good Luck and Belated Happy New Year! :DReneehttp://thejunglenook.blogspot.co.nz/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392898925403346163.post-12574836258856335742015-01-04T13:35:51.630-09:002015-01-04T13:35:51.630-09:00Cheers to 2015 :)Cheers to 2015 :)Marhttp://www.toandfroblog.com/noreply@blogger.com
