oh poo-pee

Ok, so we have been potty teaching Kit for about 6 months. Not really training, but letting her know it's there and how to use it, and that she gets something good if she goes. She didn't care. She'd go potty if she wanted candy, but that was if/when she remembered it was there. I'd ask her if she wanted/needed to go, and she's always say no. This was with panties or a diaper. She usually peed herself five minutes later. Oh well. Anyway. I have been asking EVERYONE ( or reading their blogs) and nothing worked. She's gotten stickers, candy, praise. We've thrown out diapers, so there's no fall back (that was a disaster she didn't care if she peed even when she had to clean it up) I finally got a pottty chart, and a tube of minature horses (12 in a tube). So Kit can pee whenever she wants, she gets a sticker (2 if she poos), and candy (if she remembers, I wont remind her about the candy) It took a week to get 11 stickers for the first horse. But once she got that horse, he needed a friend. She wanted another the next time she she peed. I showed her the chart and told her she needed 10 more times before she got another horse. "okay" she sighed at me. Four days later she got enough to get another horse. This was yesterday. So she wanted another horse because she had three cups and only 2 horses. Again I showed her the chart and told her that she had to pee on the potty enough times to get the stickers all the way to the horse. So what did she do? she went and tried to potty over and over and over one right after the other to get those stickers. I had to tell her it had to be a "big pee" (not just a few drops) to get a sticker. Well, that little gitl did it. 9 peeings and one poo later (all today mind you - and NO accidents) she got her horse. I have nine horses, if she'll do that everyday for the next week I think I've got her. Mwah hah haha hah! Ok, so get this everyone says pooping is worse to train. Not so for Kit! She has not pooped in a diaper since she started getting stickers. the weirdo always wanted to see it, but now it's a matter of pride to show me her "big one" poo in the potty! Ok, yea gross, whatever it makes me giggle.
