Candy is the REWARD...

not the REASON to go potty.

Gracie, that girl, she is a wise one. You might have wondered why I touted great methods of potty training and superb results then the absence of posts updating progress? Here enters Grace. We started when? 5 weeks ago? 4? How is she doing? Not much better than she started out. We do NOT give up. She met her match. I will do mountains of laundry before I put her back in a diaper. There is rarely a wet one in the house but the dirties magically appear each time she steps from behind the rocking chair. EVERY time.

Now there is a new problem, she is asking to go every 10-15 minutes(and doing it somehow!) then holding up her chubby little hand and stating "kindee?". Oops, we have conditioned her to manipulate. I will be setting the timer now. So many of my children's sinful habits are actually caused/taught by my lack of attention and discipline! Arg.
