How do I get my kid….

September 21, 2007

…to not crawl into bed with us in the middle of the night on a regular basis now that she is in a toddler bed and not a crib?  Yeah, every couple of nights, we are woken up by her hurling herself in between us in bed.  She’s not scared, upset, nothing.  Just wants to sleep with us.

…want to potty train?  Absolutely no interest.  None.  She knows when she has to go potty, she has even told me she has to go but when I ask her to sit on the potty, she says no and runs away.

….let me change her diaper, put clothes on her, buckle her into her carseat without some sort of threat?  This has been an issue for quite awhile, she hides or crawls/runs out of reach, laughs, won’t stay still.  T and I are about ready to pull our hair out!!! We have followed through on our threats too- no tv/videos, time out, spanking, etc. but it really makes no difference.  She does the same thing the next time we have to do any of the above.  And doing her hair? Apparently that is sheer torture because she screams and twists her head around every time, even when I haven’t touched her hair yet with the brush.
