Happy Memorial Day!!
Elayna starts in the 3-year old class at daycare on Wednesday!! She is extremely excited to move to the ‘big-girl-class’ with her friend Kira. It is extremely cute!!
However, the big accomplishments come with big responsibilities – E has to be potty trained! As of 2-weeks ago, she was. But somewhere between getting the approval to move up and now, we’ve regressed into a accident-prone mess. I’m convinced that E is stuck in a potty-training stress-induced death-spiral: she has accidents, she gets in trouble (at school and at home), she stresses about accidents so has more, she continues to get in trouble. She is one stressed out little monkey.
Last Monday we were told she couldn’t graduate if she continued to have so many accidents. On Wednesday I was told that the accidents were ‘unacceptable’ but they were moving her up anyway. [?] No where am I getting help from her teachers so I am discouraged with the school. I’m at a loss….
So we’ve been working a lot over this long weekend. A lot of reminders, positive reinforcement, no pressure, and lots of M&Ms. So far, she appears to be catching on again and we’re proud of her progress. We’ll just see how this plays out at school [and pray she isn’t kicked out for ‘unacceptable’ behavior.]
