When it comes to #1, Eva has been day potty trained for months. When we’re out of the house, she’ll use any bathroom so long as we have her padded toddler seat to keep her from “falling in”. The only accident she had in recent history was when she was sick and fell asleep without switching to training pants. Even so, she usually wakes up dry.
But when it comes to #2, it’s another story. Eva parrots Daddy by saying “poopy diapers yucky” and “it’s bad for skin”, but she doesn’t listen to her own mantra. Dave has told her that as soon as she goes poo-poo in the potty, we’ll have a party with cake and ice cream and balloons (and her latest favorite, lollipops), and she acts really excited when we talk about it. But then she’ll sneak into the bedroom to put on a pair of training pants and do her business. We’ve tried making her sit on the pot whenever she needs to go, but she only cries and begs to get up. I really don’t know what her hang-up is, but it’s really frustrating to have her so resistant to clearing this final hurdle.
If she's good with the day time pee... why not just hide the training pants altogether and keep her in princess panties. She's very smart and it sounds like she needs to be left with no choices.
