Potty Trained? Wilderness Trained.

Athena potty trained early in life. It was wonderful. However, she still has accidents. She was doing fabulous for a while! Then she stopped caring. She decided she cared more about playing than stopping to use the restroom. So we went back to a potty chart with a prize if she does well. She still for some reason wets her underwear. She just doesn't like to take time out to use the restroom.

To make matters worse...we taught her to potty outdoors while hiking. At first she hated that! But once she learned she won't stop. I mean..she goes outside to play and will take off her pants to pee in the yard or at the playground.

Lately she has been getting undressed outside for different reason. Maybe she doesnt like the feel of her wet swimsuit when she is playing in the pool.
I thought it would get better now that the pool is put away for the year. She will stop undressing outdoors now.
Nope. Yesterday she undressed and pooped in the yard. She stepped in it then came inside the house to show me. Great...now I can't allow her to play outside unsupervised any more. And she had just recently learned to stay at the house so I could let her play without my watchful eye for little bits at a time. She use to run away to play with friends or look for dogs.
But no...I have to stay outside and watch her ...still!
