Today we were completely accident free! Kelsie has reached the point where she is telling us consistently when she has to go and she is even running to the bathroom when she needs to go telling us on the way. All of that has been going on for several days now and we are very excited about that, but we have still been having poop issues on and off where she will start before telling us. We are also battling with what to do in public. The last time we went into a public potty someone flushed as soon as we walked in and Kelsie refused to use it after that. She just held it until we got home. We haven't had any accidents while out and about, but I am always worried that we will since she is so afraid of them! (she insists on wearing panties everywhere we go and only wears pullups at night)
Well we went to Pappas BBQ for dinner and Kelsie made her I need to poop face, so Mike asked her if she needed to go and she said yes. I started taking her to the potty and she started crying and saying she wanted to go home to use the potty. I explained to her that we wouldn't be able to make it in time and although she continued to fuss and cry the whole time she went poop on the potty!!! Afterward she calmed down pretty quickly and I asked her if that was scary for her and she said no! I hated having her cry the whole time, but I know her if you don't push her to do something she is afraid of she will never try it. We were so lucky that no one was in there at the time, so she was able to take the first step to conquering her fear without the added noise of flushing toilets!
We made a big deal about it all the way to the Dairy Queen (her treat for going potty)! She was so excited! We called grandpa and told him all about it and he was so excited for her too!
