It's Potty Time!

I wish I could say "Party Time", but we are getting down to business-starting today.

Thursday, Ms. Armetric (said Armetris) reported that she never had to change a wet diaper for Jane. Jane let he know each time she needed to use the potty and she tee-teed in the potty 4 times that day at school. She told me that when I brought her Monday (today) I could bring undies and several changes in clothes for Jane to potty train. Ms. Armetric prefers not using pull-up diapers since the child doesn't seem motivated to use the potty when they can go in the diaper. So, I guess we are moving to big girl undies this week.

Random side note: 2t bikini undies are hard to find in Natchez! I have been to Walmart, Kmart, Walgreens (0) and Freds (0) to find a cute variety and ended up with 3 Mini Mouse and 3 Princess bikinis and 10 generic briefs. If you are looking for 4t, you are in luck! I ws hoping to find Ariel, since Jane is still in the meemer phase.

The selection minus the Princess undies that are at school with her.

The bathroom setup. Although I wanted the white toilet, she seemed more motivated with the Sesame Street one.

Here is Jane's Potty Chart. When she tee-tees, she gets one sticker and 3 Skittles (she is more motivated by the later) and when she poo-poos, she will get 2 stickers and 6 Skittles. Once she collects 7 stickers, she gets Ice Cream. I have followed Laurel Jenkins on this chart and I think Jane is getting it. She keeps pointing to the ice cream picture wanting the ice cream and I keep reminding her that she needs more stickers. Once we get there we will make a really big deal out of it. Over the weekend, she went 2 times (one was at the Carriage House for lunch). I'm not conviced that she understands that poo-poo goes in the potty too.

I will give the 1st day potty report after I pick her up from school.

Ok, well, she only had one accident on the playground! But it was a different story at home. No matter how many times I ask if she wants to go to the potty, she says no. We had an accident in the high chair and on the couch. She slept in a diaper and had 2 more accidents before 10 am on Tuesday. So, I have put her back in a diaper until I can talk to Ms. Armetric today at 1
