Well I'm proud to say, Emily is potty trained. What was the turning point you may ask, well today while we were eating supper Emily got up to go potty and then came back and announced that she pooped on the potty. I went to confirm of course, and it was true she had indeed went poop. This was the first time in a very long time. Ever since we started training Emily when she needed to poop she would run and hide. If we caught her before she did go, then when we got her to the potty she no longer needed to go.
It's been a long and frustrating few months trying to get her trained. I really wanted her trained before Becca was born, and so I started training her in August, and at first I looked like it would be easy. And as long as we stayed home she did very well, but as soon as we had to go somewhere for any length of time, then she would pee in her pull up. It seemed the closer we got to the due date the worse she got. It didn't help that I was so tired all the time and didn't have the energy to be running with her every 1 hour to take her. When she wasn't trained by the baby's due date, I thought it is going to be impossible to do with a new baby.
Like normal when Becca first came home it got worse. Then last Sunday I decided that it was time, and that since so far nothing was working that we (Emily, Becca and me) would be staying home until she got trained. No visits with grandparents, no trips anywhere, and it worked. Within a few days she was going pee most of the time. Then this last couple of days we went almost all day without any accidents. Then today she went poop on the potty too, and I knew that it had finally clicked. She still has accidents sometime when she's busy and forgets to go, but I believe that we've finally got over the hill and it will only get better from here.
I'm the PROUD MOTHER of EMILY JAYNE CHRABASZCZ who is POTTY TRAINED!
