I know I am posting too soon about the potty training, since we really have had no formal training yet. I am relying on this board and the books I am reading to figure out the best way to do this.
Phoebe sometimes gets it and sometimes not. I am making sure to praise her up and down when she pees on the pad. It is *usually* not a problem when she is already blocked in the kitchen, but if the gate is open and she has run of the house (with me watching of course), she will not even make an attempt to go TO the kitchen to the pad. She just stops and squats. Is this normal for a 16 week old? I so much want to do the right thing and hope its not me and that its because she’s still a baby, but I want to nip it in the bud if its not.
Anyway, last night when I knew she might soon need to go, I put up the gate and her and I hung out in the kitchen with her pad. I was dead tired and really really wanted to cozy up on the couch, but I am determined. Anyway, I ignored her sometimes, sometimes said “go pee” but after 30 minutes had to get the camera out. She acts like she has no idea whats going on. Gallery photos of her in her new shawl. She finally went, but jeeee!
