I'm pooped.
Last week, I would have guessed Katie was about 85% potty trained.
Today, I'd say more like 50%. If that.
This is frustrating, to say the least. She was totally poop trained, now she poops in her pants daily. She was peeing in her panties, now she seems to be catching herself more and more often. And then there was yesterday, when after the fourth time she told me she had to go and didn't produce so much as a drop (aside from a couple on the floor of the garage,) I had about had it. I also ask her to go a couple times a day, like before naptime and when we leave the house. This is usually met with a lot of complaining and "It not make me happy!"s, as though happiness is my concern. I'm more thinking about washing yet another load of sheet, or trying to clean pee out of my van. The naptime trip today was met with the grumpy face, and a distinct lack of tinkling. Half an hour later when I went to check on her, she has already wet her diaper. Grr!
I'm still not 100% she's ready for this. I know for certain I wasn't ready. She's stubborn enough to not pee just to be ornry, and smart enough to know what she's doing. We've been working on this long enough for her to work the kinks out, but it just doesn't seem to be happening. I can't see going back, though. She's just trained enough to NOT WANT diapers, and I suspect the fight to put them back on her would be almost as annoying as the extra loads of laundry..
