Potty Training

I am baffled by my little girl and her potty training.  Nearly eight months ago Melayna sat on the little training potty and peed for the first time.  She was so thrilled, she continued to go in the pot nearly every time for two months.  Then all of the sudden she decided she no longer liked the potty and started going in her pants all the time.  We took a break from training and did not force the issue for a few weeks thinking our move to Alabama threw her off.  Then she started going sporadically in the pot as long as we were at home, but she would never tell us in public. Now we are stuck there and I do not know how to get past it.  Today was the first day in a long time she told me all day she had to go before she went in her pants until I was talking about how well she did with Matt and while I was talking she pooped in her pants.  I am not sure what is going on, but I hope she figures it out soon. Potty training is a marathon with our little lady I guess.  I am sure being in a new place is not helping matters either.  I think the whole concept of getting comfortable with a more important or pressing situation before dealing with something else really applies to all of us at all different ages.  It is like moving into a new house.  You often put working out, watching your favorite show, or finishing reading a book on a back burner while you set up tv, internet, electric and gas services.  There are many times in our life where we do this putting something off while we adjust to something new.  I realized earlier this week that I had done that with reading a Bible story to the kids every night.  We had forgotten to do something we did nonstop for almost a year.  As we settle in here more and more of this things keep popping up and I am vowing today to start them up again and get back to normal life.  So I guess I need to cut Melayna a little break and help her "remember" how to use the potty again.  Wish us luck and try to remember the everyday things that make life run smoothly when you are faced with a big change because they can make the change easier to adjust to.
