She pooped in her potty!

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
This morning, I got the idea to move DD's potty out of the bathroom. She's been on a kick lately where she just does not like the bathroom - hates baths (she loved them a couple weeks ago!) and when I sat her on her potty in the bathroom, she'd pop right off of it and make and unhappy noise.

So, I moved it 5 feet into the hallway. Not 10 minutes later, I saw her make her 'poop face' so I scooped her up, set her on the potty, said 'this is where you go poopy' and she smiled at me and went!! The best thing was, my DP was here and got to see the moment too!

I can't believe that the two tiny changes I made (moving the potty and telling her 'this is where you poopy') made such a huge difference.

So..... how do I keep her doing this? I think the poop part will be pretty easy, but what about pee? I don't know her pee signals, just her poop one. She's been naked a lot lately because it's so hot, so when she pees (we have hardwood floors) I just mop it up.

Any tips? Thanks!

Yay!

How old is your LO? Not knowing her age, the tips I would have would be keep pottying her in that place if possible, and go with timing and specific (ie: after nap and when waking up) catches.
