It's official. My daughter is finally in big girl underwear. We made the transition from Pull-Ups to undies the month before she started preschool again, and with the exception of one daytime accident (actually two separate instances but within a 20-minute span...), everything has been great ever since. During the day.
Nighttime is a whole other story. I'm not sure how you handled potty training overnight or if you even had to do anything at all. I'm hoping that eventually she just gets it. Or that she starts peeing more than once or twice a day during the day and that gets it all out of her system. But it's not even so much the pee. It's the poop.
My kid will only poop at night. Seriously.
When we first started potty training, she successfully pooped on the potty twice at home and once at my mother-in-law's. And that was it. Never. Again. Sure, she did have a constipation problem that, I think, scared her off from pooping, but we gave her Lactaid (doctor's orders) and that seemed to help make pooping easier. Still, she never pooped during the day.
For awhile, she would poop in her sleep, and it would wake her up. Now, she's fully conscious when she's pooping, but she doesn't tell us until after the deed has been done.
When I read the crazy potty training book Oh Crap! Potty Training, there was a whole chapter on pooping, which I read, of course, because I wanted to be prepared. And one of the things the author wrote about was poop therapy. Y'all, is my kid going to be one of those kids who needs therapy for pooping??
In six months, she'll be 4 and I'll take her to the pediatrician for her annual physical. I'm hoping in the meantime that we get this pooping thing under control. Cuz otherwise, I just don't know.
