Seems for the last 3 weeks or so, we been getting the **hint-hint** from daycare to start training the Pizz. "She's sooo smart" "Her diapers are always dry" "She tells us when she has to go" But we couldn't schedule it...
Until this past weekend...
Whew! What an endeavor.
Essentially, we had to sign a contract with the daycare on how to do it. They wanted us to put her in Big-Girl-Panties, with an outer waterproof underwear, and take her to the potty every 30 minutes. Then extend to 45min and then an hour... An so went our weekend!
Here are the highlights:
1. The first day was smooth sailing... well if you realize that you're tethered to your toilet all day. Pizz did well. Almost made it the whole day without a mishap. Then it happened... Once around 4:30pm and then again at dinner... Tee-tee. Alas. Even Einstein wasn't perfect.
2. Those outer waterproof diapers are hilarious. They look like 8 sizes to big, and make loud crinkle-crinkle noises everywhere she goes. Huge. Definitely unladylike.
3. But they hold a large ton of tee-tee. I took the Pizz upstairs to change her, and when I pulled down the outerwear... **whoosh!** tee-tee everywhere... soaked the changing table straight through.... Wow!!!
4. No Poops for day 1. I think this course of training will either: A) eventually win out or B) cause her some serious constipation. We even toyed with prune juice, but decided against that idea.
5. Halfway through Saturday, I tried baiting her with chocolate to get some poops. It was still there until mid-Sunday afternoon. Alas...
6. Early Saturday PM, Pizz got tired of the toilet. She tried to jump off it once, and thankfully landed in my lap. Could have been bad. After she took the flying jump, I started having second thoughts about this idea.
7. Overnight, she did great. No Tee-Tee esplosions!
8. We had to break the contract to go to church (we couldn't make those poor churchgoing folks suffer the issues with waterproof crinkle pants). We put her in an evil diaper. It was then she esploded with monster poops. DQ2.0 and I think that she was saving it up, and as soon as we left her, esploded in her diapers... So much for my theory #4.
9. We brought in an egg timer for Day #2 to keep us on schedule. It was sort of creepy at first, to hear the "tick-tick-ticking" constantly. I even felt a fear of the toilet. I had to move it out into the hall way.
10. Ding ding ding... Time for potty!
11. As of Sunday PM, we had no poops. There was maybe a little start of something, but it turtled back inside, never to be seen again.
12. I don't think the Pizz will ever poop in the potty. I mean... is it really that bad. Adults have undergarments too. Why can't we just have her where depends... I'll ask pampers to see if they make a Size 15.
13. I gave up on the chocolate treat idea.... I kept eating parts of it, and after a couple of hours, it was all gone.
14. Fortunately, she never peed in the car either. That might get too much.
15. I can't wait until the Twizz have to be trained. Whoooopeee!!!!
