no more pullups

So, I am going cold turkey on Viv and doing what every other parent on the planet does - I am taking away the pullups, and putting her in underwear and plastic pants and forcing her to use the potty. This peeing in the pullups out of laziness is ridiculous.

When Sophie was 2.5, exactly to the day (Oct 15) she was done with accidents and pullups.
That date won't be here til Nov 30 for Vivian, but I am sick of waiting. There is no reason to wait any longer. We'll see if I can lead this horse to water, but there has to be some reason why every one else on earth does this to their kids at some point.

Momma - lee mee aloh!

Vivian has been doing #2 on the potty religiously for 3-4 weeks now. Thank G-d!
However, she still wears pullups, and will not pee in the potty consistently.
Only when the mood strikcs her.
I have to wipe her bottom, of course, but she takes FOREVER to finish up.
I wait, and wait, and keep asking, Are you done yet?
But if I go in the bathroom while she is doing her business, she scolds me:
"Mommy - lee mee aloh!"
Yet, each time a new piece drops, she exclaims with glee "Mama! Look!
I do pee pee inna poddee!"

I can hear the breath holding, then the releasing of breath as she pushes them out now.

Yesterday at dinner, she was sitting on her wicker bar stool eating, when the sound of water pouring on the floor sounded, directly under her stool. Her pullup was saturated, and I suppose she was too busy eating to be bothered to get up to pee, so she just did it in her pull up. Gross.

At least urine is sterile.
