The Ultimate "Stall" Technique

To anyone that has gone through potty training a kid, they'll understand when I say that Reagan has figured out the ultimate stalling technique. It seems that the last few nights, just before we get ready to put her into her bed, she says "poopy??" and starts to crawl down off my lap.

This, of course, the first few nights, made me think - "sweet... she's figuring it out". Little did I know that she really didn't have any intentions to actually use the potty, she was using as additional play time. Hmmm.

Tonight, I finally got tired of it. It's so hard to know if she really has to go or not. So I fell for it - hook line and sinker. I got up and we went to the potty. She told me to "sit... and pee" (so I pretend) and then we hang out. Well, I hang out and she plays while pretending to pee.

Hmmm. SO I called the enforcer in (dad) and he said "All done!"

That was that!
