Poopies on Potty UPDATE

So here we are, about 8 weeks into potty training and she is slowly getting the poop thing down. While on vacation for a week she successfully told us and pooped on the potty the entire time we were gone. And the past 4 times she has had to poop she has told us, ran to the potty and done it nice and clean in the potty. And then she wants to watch a TV show for all her hard work (and I give in!) So we are making headway......

As for pee, she literally had no accidents of any type 2 weeks ago on vacation and had only been having rare accidents here and there before we went on vacation. But while on vacation we were in bathing suits most of the morning in water and she did pee pee in the water when she had to. Which makes sense as to why she has kind of reverted with pee pee since we got back from vacation (she was just pee peeing in the water while on vacation and didn't have to get anywhere to do it). She has literally "waterfalled" when standing right by the potty, in the hallway and in the kitchen. When we ask her why she didn't go pee pee on the potty she responds with, "I don't know." This lasted for about 3 days after vacation and slowly got better. Until school started and we have seen waterfalls again.

This transition to school is hard and although she only waterfalled a couple of time, her panties were wet most of the time when she went pee pee on the potty (and she usually does a good job at keeping them dry). So we started a rewards chart this week. And in the 2 days we have been doing it, we have been accident free like we were prior to vacation. Every time she goes pee, she gets to put a sticker in the box. When all boxes have a sticker she gets the "golden ticket" to use whenever she wants to watch a TV show (which is usually immediate). She loves the sticker chart and I hope it gets us back where we were 2 weeks ago!!

"golden ticket!!!"
Much Love,
Jenny
