Peculiar People

• Mar. 28, 2008 - My week in review

   I thought this week was going to be soooo "ugly".  I had decided last month that this was the week to potty train Moriah.  I was envisioning a loooong frustrating week cleaning up puddles.  But she is doing so well.  She had one accident on Tuesday and one on Wednesday.  Yesterday she went in the potty almost every time I took her there.  And Joe tells me that while I was out picking up Tom she actually came to him and said "peepee potty".  We have been rewarding her with a turn on the computer watching a cartoon with every successful attempt.  With seven successful attempts yesterday I think I might need to come up with another reward.  She can't watch "movies" on the computer all day long. 

 

   Today I think I'll give her a choice of snack, "movie' or outside time with each success.  The doctor was completely opposed to treats as a reward for children with Down Syndrome, since most kids with DS tend to overweight.  But Moriah is NOT overweight.  She is a busy busy girl and is a very healthy weight.

 

   So I think we might be over the hump with the peepee in the potty.  Now if we can train her to put her "poopoo" in the potty, we'll be DONE!
