Potty Fu, round two.

Training
Now I am in support of Potty training, but also am
not afraid of diapers and all that they entail, and
some small part of me was not disappointed that she
did not give herself fully to the process at that
point. You see, she was pooping about five times a
day, and I was not, eager, to "coach that team" if
you will. Someone told me once that life with a small
child is all PPB. Poop,Puke, & Boogers. I have
mostly passed the Puke phase and it only rears it's
messy head on rare occasions. Boogers have an entire
research division devoted to them. Then we have Poop.
A week ago Thingtwo decided that she was now going to wear underwear, and that was that. Now, like I said she is a child of great resolve and there would be no dissuading this decision, and we were in no way intending to. This was a good thing, she was ready again! Of her own accord!. Since then there have been only 3 incidents.(2 wet, 1 otherwise). It's the otherwise that concerns us. She will not poop on the potty, and she does not want to wear a diaper at home, so she's holding it in. Fortunately we are able to enforce the, Diaper when going out, and diaper for sleeping (naps & night time) strategy with her and she likes to go out so there is still some small shred of leverage there. Hopefully like all of the other choices she makes, there will be an overnight embrace of the porcelain throne and she will find peace and zen in it's chilly yet comforting embrace.
