"I doned like my pandies". I don't like my pantie...

"I doned like my pandies". I don't like my panties (I hate that word)
"My diaHper is not beesy" My diaper is not busy. Busy to her; not available.
"I needah bweak, my leg hurtz" I need a break, my leg hurts.
"I doned want to potty"

I can honestly say that in 36 years- I've never wanted to grab a toddler and scream as much as I did last week. My daughter is crazy paranoid about the pee/poop coming out without the diaper. I mean crazy. Jumping up and down, screaming, snot coming from her nose....insane. I held a diaper under her while on the potty- come on, this is ridiculous- just go.

I'm with you- read the books, etc. This isn't an awareness issue. Is it control, change? Huh?!
Another thing- she'll wear a pee soaked diaper until it falls off (I wouldn't try to teach her a lesson or anything...). She doesn't care.

So, I'm giving it (myself) a break for a bit. I still ask her each diaper change if she wants a diaper or pandies. I let her choose. Duh, diaper please.
But when she wants something like a beer, or to vote...you bet your ass I'm gonna tell her, "Sorrrrreeeee, only big girls can do that!"

I'm glad to know it was a success! My daughter is...

I'm glad to know it was a success! My daughter is 9 months old so I have a while before I need to worry about potties. I was actually going to skip the tiny potty purchase and just buy a special seat for the regular one, but it seems like the little ones help a lot of kids.
