Let me just go ahead and warn you that this is a post about poop.
Yes, poop. Lots and lots of it.
For some reason, unbeknownst to me, Maddie has reverted back to doing the dirty in her panties. Yes, it's nasty.
Now, it's not a one accident type thing where I patiently remind her to do her biz in the potty, clean it up, she then goes #2 in the potty like a sweet little child and done deal for the day.
Oh, no no no no no no.
No.
She has taken to somehow stealing away like a ninja (probably while I'm crying over a basket of Easter candy because of the last 10x I've cleaned up poo that day) to hide and soil her panties...oh, I don't know...every hour or so. You think I'm kidding. I'm not.
The amount of panties we have gone through these past few weeks is unreal.
When she had just started doing this cr*p (no pun intended), I was nicely rinsing them and throwing them in the wash. Laaa dee daaaa.
Now I'm just tossing most of them.
Should I keep these? Nahhh.
We have an underwear tree in the backyard!
It's all goooood.
Oooph.
I have gone through most of the stages of grief associated with potty training regression- denial, anger, bargaining, depression ...and now I am getting dangerously close to accepting the fact that she may never poo in the pod ever again.
This is not good, friends. Not good at all.
I am getting so tired.
So frustrated.
Sooooo lost as to what to do with this problem.
I have tried bribing, I have tried encouragement, I have tried reprimanding...and even timeouts...which I definitely think are a mistake when it comes to potty training, but I seriously have started to lose my mind and don't know what to do anymore.
I feel like all I do all day is clean up poo. Well, because that is all I do all day!
She was fully potty trained and doing so well.
She was so proud of herself. I was so proud of myself (ha)....everything was quite peachy.
Well, not the case any mas.
I know I'm not the only mama out there that has dealt with this.
Any tips? Anyone? Help.
Well, Mad's is up from her nap...and that probably means there is a mess to clean up.
Did I mention she also finger paints beautiful poopy masterpieces with it all over her bed?
