Potty Training Update

Well, despite many accident free days, we've decided to put Eli back in diapers. She has yet to poop in the potty and after two months, we think enough is enough. She can obviously tell when she needs to go because she sneaks away, poops, and then comes back to tell me about it. And today, after we told her she was going to be back in diapers, she was running around naked. She then brought me a diaper and asks to put it on. I did, she sneaked away, pooped and then came back to tell me about it.

She obviously isn't ok going in the toilet so we'll back off and let her get there on her own. She was doing good with the pee, but not great. She could hold it in for a long time and was good about going when put on the toilet, but she would also not go on her own to the toilet (except one or two times). So if we forgot to take her or didn't do the math right on the amount of liquid and time since last pee, she would just pee in her undies. Today, she squatted over the stuffed kitty cat bed and peed. So, she obviously knows what she is doing, but can't quite get it together to get to the bathroom.

Hopefully some time away from it all (from the pressure, the panties, and potties all over the house) will let her chill out and she'll pick it back up when she is more ready.
