Potty training.....

I am not even sure where to start with this one. It has been the most challenging thing I have done since becoming a mother! The first week was such a struggle one of the days I cried for a good 45 minutes and couldn't even look at Ronnee. She was so confused. I hate when I get that way to my little girl but she is so smart and can be such a big pain in the ass! She knows when she needs to go and would hide and pee. But on that day that right after I had the melt down she went all by herself and pulled down her pants and sat on her toilet and made a poop. So I know she knows exactly what to do but just likes to mess with me! One of the days she climbed on Tyler's lap and peed on him. It was so funny to me but not to Tyler! When she needs to go to the potty she asked to be held and that is when we have to take her in the bathroom and make her go. We have tried pretty much everything when it comes to bribing her and taking things away. She doesn't care. She doesn't care if she doesn't get any candy or cookies or her dolls are gone away. She doesn't care if she has to sit in wet panties or has to clean up her pee. She cared for a couple days if I wouldn't let her wear her panties but now she doesn't mind being naked! lol Some days I am not sure what to do with her! And did I mention she can hold her pee for hours! She held it for 6.5 hours one day! And most days she pees the last time at night at 8pm and drinks about a half of a bottle of water during the night and she will hold her pee until 10 sometimes later in the morning. It cant be healthy!!!
The second week is going a lot better. She tells you when she needs to go and does the potty dance. But when you sit her on the toilet she freezes so you have to put her in the bath tub and when she starts peeing take her out and put her on her little potty chair. She is now getting to the point that she wont pee in the tub at all so we do the in and out of the tub about 3 times before she pees but she pees in the potty!!! She poops in it to we catch her in time but I hoping this next week will be even better!
I am sorry Ronnee for being a crazy mother and I really do love you even though at times I want to choke you!!
