Well, things with potty training are churning along. We hit a roadblock last weekend, when she had, over the course of the weekend, something like six poop accidents. She was peeing okay but pooping in her pants repeatedly, often just after going to her room for nap time.
We were pretty frustrated about it but I just kept reminding myself of what my mother-in-law told me a few times: you can choose to let it bother you and get stressed out or you can just let it go. R will get potty trained eventually either way.
So I've been trying to let it go. Mostly. It helps a lot to have J to bounce back and forth on. Whichever one of us would get aggravated about having to swish another poopy pair of underpants in the toilet would get relieved by the other.
I'm embarrassed to admit that usually it was J rescuing me. But I did try very hard to always be calm and never make her feel bad about having an accident.
We just kept repeating, like a mantra, "Everyone has accidents. It's okay. Let's get you all cleaned up."
This week has been much better. But we're still having accidents here and there. She had one today, in fact. But I think today's had to do with the fact that she was having all kinds of fun outside in the snow and didn't want to come in.
So. We're not completely there yet. But we're on our way. She'll be there really soon.
