So I actually wanted to do this and get this over with by the time that Nanea turned 18 months, but it was kind of busy and I just wasn't completely dedicated to it. Now that she is 2 years old, it's time. Also, Nanea doesn't like when she has a wet or dirty diaper, which leads me to believe that she's ready...that's why I stuck her in some panties today and this is how our day went:
1 accident-Nanea didn't know what to do and just stood there sad
another accident-Nanea looked down her legs as she puddled the ground and started cry. She really doesn't like to the feeling down her legs (I don't blame her-this is a good sign)
another accident (these 3 were all in the space of 30 minutes)-Now she's totally crying and not happy and neither was I.
mommy's frustration growing so on went the diaper and we left for a walk to do some errands.
I was really waiting for Nanea to go #2 because she usually does one in the morning, but that didn't happen so we left the house. When we got home, I was refreshed and decided to do a different approach. I put Nanea on the real toilet (since the little potty wasn't doing the trick. This one we got from our neighbor to try and is an Elmo design which she loves) and giver her some lolly or chocolate. So she got on with the lolly, we stayed there for a while, and then got off.
Another 30 minutes later, back on to the toilet after she had some noodles and milk and juice, and right before I was about to take her off...she peed in the toilet!!!! I screamed, "Yay Nanea you did it!" and she was soo happy, wanted to flush the toilet and then kept repeating those words and giving me a high five.
Of course, I texted Jason, Uila, let my mom and dad know, and Mahi too.
Then, 30 minutes later, went back on the toilet, but she didn't want to get on, so the next bait was movie-netflix, Backyardigains-Nothing
30 minutes later, same thing, nothing
Then, tutu and pii show up and take her to the beach.
They get home, she takes a bath, diaper on (to go to Uncle Jermaine's) she cries while she pees in her diaper, which is a good sign because she recognizes the feelings. but junk because she didn't go on the toilet.
Now, home from Jermaine's and right before I think of putting her on the toilet, she makes the #2 face and starts, I rush to the toilet to find that she's done while she's crying like crazy. Everything's a mess and I clean her up. Change diaper...3 minutes later she finishes up her #2 and cries even more. Change diaper...Asleep!
Wow, no wonder why people don't look forward to this process. I'm hoping things don't get any worse. I'm already thinking of what I can do to make this process better for us all. I know that I just have to stick to it and make sure that I stay positive because she already hates it. I think that's mommy's fault, but I know it's possible. Am I a harsh mommy? Sorry Nanea. but mommy really doesn't want to have to buy and change diapers for 2.
