[quote=Anonymous]I think you are doing great. She gets it, she still needs help (I mean, she's 1 -- of course she does) and lots of practice. I think just keep at it.

My DD responded to the Oh Crap method by simply holding in all pees and poops as long as possible. She could hold on to them until nap time or bedtime, and then we'd have to put a diaper on her so she could go to sleep, and she'd immediately fill it. She just had a fear of going on the potty and that method actually set us back a lot because it only made her more fearful/reluctant to potty train. We wound up being those people whose kid took over a year to finish potty training and everyone gives the side eye to. Potty training is HARD.

It sounds like it's working for you though with a normal number of difficulties along the way. I know it's hard! The combo of cleaning up accidents and making sure you are providing the right messaging/encouragement to your kid is really challenging and it's hard to keep it up for so many consecutive days. I get it! But keep going, I think you are really close and if you can make it through this coming weekend, I think you'll see it start to click. You've got this![/quote]
