[tri-med] Re: Gross habit

 We had other problems with Aleah, and still do. Aleah is potty trained however 
has a hell of a hard time getting  some of her pants off, then theres the 
height thing... unless were at home she cant get on or off the toilet on her 
own.
Okay on with the potty training advice :o).
Pullups did NOT work, they were more expensive diapers. We used no undies on 
Aleah, then every 1/2 hour to hour after she ate we made it a great game. First 
being that Im a girl... I would go (even if it was a drop, drink lots! ) then I 
told her it was Aleah's turn. I would put her on the toilet and let her sit 
there for 5-10minutes, no books nothing to play with and pretend to ignore her 
:o) Then when she went I made the HUGE deal about it. This effort combined with 
school, seemed to do the trick. Also to keep her dry at night no liquids 1 hour 
b4 bed seems to help.
 Good Luck
Rachael mom to Jeremiah, Aleah and Lily
