She informed me, just today, that having a wet and/or poopy pants "feels good."
There is hope tho, she wants to take a dance class this summer. I told her they wouldn't let her in if she wasn't a "big girl" and wearing "big girl pants."
I am thinking of making a collage to hang beside the "big girl potty" to remind her why she is sitting there. I'll cut out pictures of ballerinas, Tap dancers(shirley Temple), etc.
She has another thing she wants to do that has her father dismayed. Before I had a daughter I thought it would be fun to do "beauty pageants" with her but now that I do...torn, kinda...maybe. I really don't want her to become obsessed with her looks or being "perfect." I do want her to learn poise and refinement (things I am lacking). I don't want her wearing all that make-up, or those short dresses. Some of them aren't so bad. But then some of the songs these poor babies sing, I don't even want to hear let alone allow Miss B. Most of the little girls have fun, But they can have fun and be modest and learn manners and refinement some other way. So no matter how much I am obsessed or miss B harasses we will not be entering beauty pageants. Even if I have to chew all my nails off to keep from agreeing to let her be a princess. I am praying for strength. I may have to buy her a dress tho so she can pretend in the privacy of her room. Why oh, why did I let her watch Toddlers and Tiaras with me?
Nugget is doing well. He likes Gravy and root beer floats a lot. Maybe I shouldn't blame him for the gravy but normally I have Some self-control. But the root beer floats are all him. I haven't had one for years until last night. Sigh. I gained 7 lbs. when I was pregnant with Miss B. I know this is a normal pregnancy and that wasn't so I should expect more weight gain. But just 5 months ago I was trying to loose 15 lbs. It is hard to change mind sets. I really am very happy that this pregnancy is so much more normal. Off I go to eat the left over root beer float from last night.
I'll leave you with an "outta the mouth of Babe'"
B: Mommy what is that?
Mommy: What?
B:Momma(pointing to the kitchen), ExplIne to me that noise!
Mommy: Bug, that is the dish washer.
B: yes, that is da loud noise.
God Bless,
Tiff

Most likely B could be a princess and you could hold your own pagent. She already does American Idol. Fix a costume. Practice her "act" and maybe make some props. Her daddy takes pictures and mommy does movies. This all seems do-able without the stuff you don't like. Let her sing Twinkle twinkle little star, or some other hot song.
I rather like the ballerina thing to hang by the big girl potty. Does she have some real girly panties? Maybe you could make a VERY big deal about them and how they can't take the potty thing, so she needs to get a wiggle on and get out of the pullups. Talk about when she is a big girl and talk about something that she is interested in and how she can't do it until she is trained...some kind of reward/bribe (that you want her to have, of course.
