Today Asha goes commando! No diapers. I'm a bit sad actually, the maid has to do it and not me. I feel like shoving my responsibility to someone else. I couldn't take leave because everyone in my department has gone on leave, actually 1 resigned 2 took leave.
So anyway, what happened today was:
1. She peed every 20mins, so we're running out of "pop" pants very fast.
2. She's still scared to say "pee". Maybe scared we'll scold her or something. She seems a bit stressed out, but we'll see if she improves in a few days.
3. Currently the last 2 attempt to make her pee in the toilet has succeeded. Usually her signs are touching her genitals then quickly ask her if she wanted to pee.
4. After some attempts she doesn't look as scared when she had to go to the bathroom to clean herself up.
Some tips from friends:
1. Continue to praise her for whatever progress she made on the day. Constantly remind her that she is a big kid and need to pee in the toilet.
2. It will take maybe a week, past a week don't bother, maybe she's not ready.
3. Prepare lots of newspaper to spread on her pee, so when you pick her up to toilet it doesn't drip everywhere.
4. Don't look stress, pretend that it's a normal process that you have to go through.
5. If your cushion is stained, pour hot boiling water on top of it, leave for a while and then put under the sun.
6. If you have cloth diapers, try using the outer wears without insert as a pants, some say helps absorb some so the pee doesn't go all over the place.
I'm gonna go home early today to see her progress... So we'll see how it goes tomorrow....
