ready. What a nice Christmas present.

HOORAY!!

We potty trained our son for 6.5 years and

one day he finally got it. And not including medication related accidents, we’ve

been pretty lucky.

Jump for joy, you guys deserve it.

Subject: Just Had

To Tell Everyone! (A little bragging on my daughter)

I just

have to brag about what my 5 yr old girl did this morning. I

have been working on and off for about 2 years now to get Sierra potty

trained, especially when she started taking off all her clothes on a

regular basis at home. However, I know that pushing her just would

not do any good.

This morning, I had (uncharacteristically) left our bathroom door open

as I started packing things for our move (next week). Well, I started

hearing what sounded like Sierra turning on the bathtub (one of her

fav play activities). So I made my way to the bathroom, ready to dash

to the tub, when I stopped cold in my tracks.

Sierra had lifted the toilet seat and had sat down and was going potty

- ALL BY HERSELF! She didn't even grab the kiddie seat to put on the

toilet, she just plopped right down! I couldn't believe it. Of

course, I made a HUGE fuss about it, whipped her clean, then took her

to the kitchen to get a chocolate Christmas tree Little Debbie snack

cake (yes, I know, not a good breakfast food, but oh well! :-) )

So, anyway, I just had to brag. I can only hope that this is a sign

that she is more than ready to move forward. Now that I think about

it, I have been able to get her to sit on the toilet a few times this

week. The other day, she took a book with her, sat on the potty and

just " read " for awhile. Do you think she is trying to tell me

something!

One question to the groups - Has anyone else ever had a child on the

Spectrum just suddenly start using the potty? I know all ASD children

are different, but I am just wondering. I know that with my older

typical daughter, she just seemed to grab the concept outta the blue

(and after a year of training) and went one night totally dry and we

never put another diaper on her.

I can only hope that Sierra is " telling " me she is ready for this.

>Great News!!!! This gives me hope for my 5 yr. old son. He just

seems to have such a fear of the toilet. It is so good to hear of

someone else having such success. .
