Potty Wars

We've been working on potty training for, well, months at this point. At first it was a game and Zara loved it for about a week and then it's been off and on since. Lately, we'd been on a real losing streak though with very few successes in the last month even though she would tell us potty and she'd sit there for a short time/long time/whatever time. After she gets upset, put her diaper back on and she goes in no time. We have stickers and m&ms as rewards, sing songs, read to her, or anything we could think of and nothing worked.

After perusing the internet for tips, we decided to try giving her privacy. umm... really, sometimes no matter how verbal a kid is they still just don't tell you what they want. Yesterday and today we've just been sticking her on the potty handing her a book and ignoring her and, bam, literally. Maybe there is hope after all.

Oh, and she is walking great again and running already. We've said good-bye to pegleg, she's healed.
