It is with a very sad heart that I take down the sticker chart and put away the M&M's. After such a great start, my darling Melody decided she was anti potty. Each time I would put her on there, she would sit and play, for as long as I kept her on, not do anything on the potty, then the minute I put a diaper back on her, she would go. We did this for 3 days with the same results and not a single success. Even though she informed me she wanted to go on the potty, clearly she does not want to now. If I have learned anything about my daughter thus far, it is that she will not do any skill until she can master it fully. She walked late, because she didn't want to do it poorly. As soon as she started walking, she hardly ever fell down.
I debated over this all night, asked my supporting Mom's group, asked my own Mom, came up with a lot of different ideas, but none of them really were working. I know it was only a week that we did this, but I feel like it just wasn't a happy scenario. We'll pick it back up in a week or so and see how it goes then. Until then, thanks for bearing with me while I discussed bathroom stuff for a few days.
