molly's regressed a lot with her potty training these past few days. just when we thought she had nailed it, (we even bought her the toys she wanted as a reward) accidents have been happening quite frequently. we're not sure why she is having them either. she was doing so well telling us when she had to go or just going on her own. now, we're back to constant reminders and it's almost a battle sometimes.
part of the battle is pooping. she's eaten too much cheese these past few days and tried to poop on thursday but it hurt, so now, it's like she's afraid to poop - fear of pain. she will poop in her underwear though....maybe she thinks the toilet makes her hurt? not sure. we've laid off the cheese though and are pushing lots of fruit!
i'm hoping this little regression doesn't last too long. it was so nice to have her using the toilet, and messy underwear is worse than a diaper! we took away her toys that she got for using the toilet too and told her as soon as she's back on track she'll get them back. hoping this makes an impact as she was upset that the toys were taken away. she does understand why and knows that she got them for using the toilet and will get them back when she stops having so many accidents. now, i know accidents will happen - but they should be happening 3-4 times a day - especially when they weren't happening at all.
