I have two daughters. At this point, Addison is 7 and about to start second grade. Jenna is 3 1/2 and won't flippin poop in the toilet. GGRRRRR!!!!
Addison just bought her first what I call "real" cd. Up to this point in life she has listened to "my" music on her headset. Yesterday, she got the Hannah Montana 2 disc set. I have to admit, of all the music she could have chosen to buy, this was a GREAT choice. We listened to it as we ran errands this morning and the messages in these songs is PERFECT for girls. It's all about doing your best and trying your hardest and just being you. I LOVE IT. I am a little sad that my first born is getting so independant, but yet when she makes choices like this, I feel as though I am doing SOMETHING right!!
Then there is Jenna. As she sits in the bathroom screaming because her tummy and butt hurt because she needs to poop and refuses to go in the toilet, I am sitting her venting to you all. She has been potty trained over a year. But she refuses to go #2 in the stool!!! I don't get it! We have tried bribery, books, everything. I don't know what else to do, but I swear if I have to change one more of her poopy pull-ups, I will lose it!!!
I better get in there. We'll see what happens.

Isn't this where the phrase 'anal retentive' comes from? As I recall it is a power struggle having to do with control on the part of the retainer.
I am so glad I don't have to worry about this kind of thing anymore!
:-)
Gee, if Princess and the Potty doesn't work, I just have nothin' for ya! ;-) "This potty doesn't please me." We still use that line in our house for lots of stuff. Some kids books just stick with you.
I hope that Jenna makes up her mind to do it soon, because until she does, there's probably not much else for you to do!
I have an idea. Though it might take more patience than you obviously already have used. Don't put her in a pull-up anymore. You could also try taking things away from her, like sweets, or something she really enjoys, and tell her big girls go in the potty, and only big girls get candy (or whatever it is), and until she is a big girl and goes in the potty she cannot have any.
Of course, I don't know the whole issue, some kids are afraid to go in the potty. Either way she will grow out of it.
Hey ladie! I have missed reading about you and yours! Hope all is well.
