Potty Fairy - UPDATE
And so I'm finding the thrill of the "Potty Fairy" to be very short lived at this point. We have had no more attempts or even desires to use the potty. She's actually gone to the opposite end of the spectrum in that she seems almost afraid to use it at this point. My thoughts are to back off for awhile and try again in a month or when she seems more interested. I'm not big on pushing kids into something they are not ready to do yet especially at such a young age (she will not be 3 until July). Some people may not agree with me on this but I feel that she is going through a difficult stage right now where we have a lot of "No's" coming from her and defiance - partly I think due to the fact that her young sister (now 9 months) is more active and requires more attention as well as all of the new information she has learned (colors, letters, numbers, etc.) so I think it's a lot for a 2 1/2 year old toddler to deal with right now. I'm hoping by the summer she will be more interested (and have more success) in the Potty Training area. But for now I'm OK with her still being in diapers (as much of a pain as it is at times). She is my first baby and so maybe some milestones will come later than others.
