Are you sure you don’t need to go potty???

by Papa K on July 23, 2012

Some context behind the video below: Maile has definitely improved on the potty training front, but she’s not all the way there yet. She’s at the point now, where most of the time she tells someone when she needs to go potty. However, every once in awhile she gets in a mood where she is almost willing herself not to go.

That was the case today.

This video is the tail end of about a 30 minute back-and-forth between Maile and I at the museum. She was running around, crossing her legs, acting just like a little girl who needed to go the bathroom – except she absolutely insisted she didn’t need to go. At one point I even picked her up and carried her into the bathroom and begged her to sit on the potty “for a minute” – to which she went absolutely bonkers and refused to go. That brings us to our video…

The good news is that sure enough after this video, we went into the bathroom and Maile went potty. She also preemptively told me two more times that afternoon. So we’re making some progress!
