Potty Training Efforts Gone Bad

I'm torn on my beliefs on potty training. I think it's so different for every child. I've seen some things work for other parents that would have NEVER worked for Hunter. I've tried what worked with Hunter, with Graysen...it doesn't work.

I wish there was a one size fits all for potty training!

Graysen should be potty trained very well by now. She fully understands when she needs to go and when she goes. A lot of mornings she wakes up dry. She can almost change her diaper by herself for pete's sake! But, she's not. Instead, she's stubborn. Instead, she likes the convenience of going in her diaper and telling me when she's ready for a diaper change.

Bless my sister, she's tried very hard recently to help me in my potty training efforts. She put Gray in panties the other day and she peed in them. She put a new pair on her and showed her how sad it made her that she had peed in them.

So...what did Graysen do?

She went outside to play...

took her new panties off...

and squated right on the driveway and pooped.

Yes. She pooped on my driveway.

At least she took her panties off first right?

ps - I took a picture of the actual pile, but can't bring myself to force all you unsuspecting people to see the picture...so you get the picture of Lincoln cleaning it up.

pps- Charlie almost immediately told me to blog about this and put a survey out there..."how many of your children have pooped in your driveway?" I informed him I would be THE ONLY ONE. So, don't answer that, it's not good to feel alone...
