well, the reason i haven't given a closure to my potty training posts since January 27th, is because nothing in terms of potty training was done! To tell you the truth i really don't know for what reason exactly it happened, but my little girl started to simply HATE, (yes, hate is the correct word) sitting on the piniquinho or any word related to xixi and the such!! So one day while sitting on the bathroom floor watching Julia crying or rather screaming, i decided to let it go and give it some more time. So, we went on vacation in February and I just accepted the fact that it wasn't time for potty training yet.
However, I started noticing that Julia seemed to get frustrated at times with her diaper in our hot summer days and she would often try to take her diaper off. I felt that that was my sign to try the big task again. Once settled at home after over a month away, i decided to take up the challenge once more. This time i was psycologically prepared for the many 'accidents' to come and had my rag and detergent-hylex water prepared before-hand. I was ready! On Monday, March 22nd as soon as she woke up, i took her diaper off. Yes, all my preperation was needed as many accidents did happen, however this time it wasn't such a big deal as I had my mind set for the task. She still, however, didn't want to go anywhere near the piniquinho. Tuesday came along with hopes reneiwed as I got to stay home all day Tuesday. I then took my time sitting on the bathroom floor reading stories from her favorite books there, and slowly she started to like the whole idea again. That day, she actually did xixi in the piniquinho!!!!!! I could hardly believe my eyes!!!! It truely is a satisfactory feeling, believe me! And to my suprise and joy today she did coco too!! Although we still have some occational 'accidents' and tantrums, i think we are on the path to a successful potty training experience number 2! I think this time there is no going back...or at least i hope not!!

YAY! Way to go Julia! Tia Loves you !
Yay! So cute. :) And I just want to say that I think that "xixi" and "coco" are MUCH cuter terms than the ones we use here. :)
Grandma is cheering loudly.
Julia Julia, you're so cute!
