Well, we have been trying to potty train DD. Mostly, using potty training pants during the day. Showing her how the potty works. Letting her go into the bathroom when we potty and she can sit on her chair. So far she has learned to wipe herself and throw the tissue in the trash. Though, she has never used the chair for TT or poopie. Heres my dilemma. Now that she knows where the poppie goes...she could care less if she tts....she will either come and get us after she has used the bathroom in her diaper or training pants...or she strips naked and brings the poopie diaper to us. Or and this is kind of graphic and gross...she will reach her hand in her diaper....and proceed to bring us the contents. She wants it out of her diaper. I can not tell you in the past two weeks how many "things" she has brought me. Thinking they were trash(she loves to bring us trash for the trash can) only to find out they are poop....that she has shoved in my hand. This weekend she went into her room to play...a few minutes later I peaked in to check on her...then I realized she was naked and the smell hit me. She had pooped and had it from one side of the room to the other. Not to mention she had put some in her little plastic purse and toy bin :oops: I have tried everything to keep her clothes on....pants, bloomers, long dresses, onzies, and even zip up sleepers....I am out of ideas to keep clothes on her. If we were able to do this...then maybe when she pooped she wouldn't be able to get into her diaper. So I guess I would love suggestions on how to keep clothes on her and how to teach her to come and get us before she goes potty...instead of after. The bringing us "presents" has gotten so bad...I have had to warn those at church for when she is in the nursery and Sunday school.

I wish I had a smarter answer for you. I mean a more compact one at least... but have you thought about what she is trying to gain by showing you her "prize?" The best parenting tip I ever heard was someone saying that in discipline you should figure out what your child is trying to gain by negative behaviour and give them the opposite. In this case it may not be your daughter trying to be bad... I think it's more that she is proud of her poop - haha - as funny as that sounds :). Maybe you could put the poop in the potty and then show her how proud YOU are that it's in the toilet. And of course make a BIG scene when she does something right with the potty.
With my son when he peed his pants we would put him in the shower because he hated it. Maybe there is something you could do that you know she hates - but do it matter of factly like "this is what we have to do when you do that, sorry!"

someone once suggested putting the sleepers on backwards, and cutting the feet off. This ways she is unable to unzip it by herself. When she takes the poop out, try telling her "eeewww, yucky and take it to the toilet and flush it down, have her say bye bye or whatever" My dd hates the idea of GERMS being on her hands, so maybe you could tell her "ewww, now you have germs on you so hurry lets flush it and wash those germs away"

Sounds stupid right? But kids love making a big deal out of things. Also after she eats anything, wait about 30 min. and make her sit on the potty. Read a book with her while she sits there, give her a treat each time she goes, or just really praise her (treats are habit forming) but make a big deal about it. If she doesn't go, then wait 5-10 min. and make her try again. It's time consuming but she'll get it after a while.
Sorry I don't have anything better to suggest.

TY both! I have found a solution for the time being. I bought some onsies at walmart friday..just hoping the ones we had were maybe too easy to open...they are a little worn(before we just had the onesie on her only). Well, I put that on her. Followed by a long dress. So far it has worked. I think she realizes she can not get the onesie over her head. Without first removing the dress. I don't she has realized she can still unpop the onesie and take her diaper off. But, she is a slick one. So it is only a matter of time. We haven't disciplined her for the "presents"..cause I didn't won't her to think that going poopie was bad. But, you both have wonderful ideas!!! Some of the girls at DH's work came up with similar things too. They also said that taking her to the toilet and dropping it in would teach her where it needs to go. The only thing is....Is if you teach DD one way...it's hard for her to change it to the proper way. So she may want to dig in her diaper from here on out. Change is very hard for her...which leads to major fraustration and meltdowns on her part. Things have to be so so and done exactly the same way everytime or she gets upset. One of DH's friends from work has adopted a little girl. They just got her home this past week. He suggested too...to putting DD on the toilet after every meal of the day. I am assuming this is how the orphanage potty trained her and she is use to this schedule. So DH is wanting to start that. So with the response I got with you guys and them..it seems like a no brainer on what we should be trying next. I also will try the sleeper thing tomorrow night. Right now I let her wear a onesie under her nightgown...since she refuses to sleep with a night light and it is dark...I guess she doesn't feel like trying to get out of everything on it as well. THANK YOU BOTH!!! I really needed the advice. Well it's late here. Can't sleep. Got an appt tomorrow to buy some used dresses. God bless,
Crystal

Try overalls too. Timmy couldn't get those off till he was older, they're kinda tricky. Also I found with Timmy if I asked him every couple hours if he needed to go potty it seemed to help a lot. Maybe you could even take her to the bathroom so she's already in there, and maybe even sit on the potty and see if she'll go.
