P/T

New attempt at potty training. 'We're home and you're awake = no diaper and good/bad consequences' Trying to get her to realize she IS peeing, when she is...which she seems to be ignoring. Making her stop what she is doing and go downstairs and try to finish everything down there -- and if she does cooperate she gets a treat, one for cooperating, two if she puts most of it in there. If she tells me she needs to go before she gets the pants wet, bigger treat (lollipop - which she loves even more than chocolate). I've explained the deal to her several times - she asks for the lollipop I tell her what she needs to do to get it - and she nods and gets all wide-eyed about it. Asking her every five to fifteen minutes or so if she needs to go - but in a way that reminds her she gets no treat if she does not go downstairs and actually put something in the potty chair (or try really hard after wetting upstairs). Trying not to make asking an annoyance thing she automatically says 'no' to in order to get me to go away. If she is doing something she likes and I notice wet pants or a puddle starting it is 'STOP HOLD THE PHONE - LOOK AT THAT' and drag/carry her downstairs and tell her we need to do this before that happens, so we don't have wet pants. Walking downstairs in wet pants is not comfortable for her - she doesn't like it - and depending on attitude I will make her walk in them or carry her in order to get the point across why we don't want wet pants.

Her 'critical thinking skills' of compromise, before/after and having a goal/deal to get something have really ripened in the past few months -- it seems like a good time to try it again.

Will it work? Something needs to.
I did put a diaper on her and make her go to bed last night after a certain time - and took her right down there first thing she woke up this morning and removed it (yes it was wet, but not soaked), and she went.

I intend to put a diaper on her if we go to town, as well... or to Grandma's house - but something needs to start turning around and if I have to get peed on during a cartoon or clean it up off the floor a few times that is what is going to have to happen for her to realize what is going on and start paying attention to it.
