Potty training

A couple of weeks ago I made potty charts for the girls and we hit the potty training again. They didn't argue about going and Alex always does 'something' when she sits on the potty, but Emma almost never does anything but sit there for a few minutes. Each time they at least tried to potty they got a sticker. After 10 days of that we are no closer to being potty trained than we were before. They will usually tell me when they have to go poop, but never when they have to pee. I just keep reminding myself that this is a motor control problem and they can't help it. We will keep trying as we go, maybe we will get there at some point.
Over the holiday weekend the girls rode in the Lincoln Riding Club play day. Alex loves it, Emma tolerates it. It is great fun and great therapy for them. You don't realize what muscles it takes to ride a horse until you do it and are completely sore! Kyle & Misty have invited us to come to each play day (every other Saturday night) and let the girls ride. I think it will help with muscle strength, balance, coordination & confidence.
