HEY! I have a great idea! How old is she? At some point, I bought a removable shower head...the babies used to LOVE it! I would "hose" them off. One of them had skin problems and baths made it worse so I did showers! I use the removable head, which I bought at Home Depot, and gently washed her hair. It took so short a time to have her ready for bed. Now at 6 and 9, they only take showers! Anyway, I guess since the water is draining, she might not be so worried about the poo or pee floating around her. You could even tell her that it is okay to pee in the shower, just not poo cause it will get stuck...but not cause it's yucky.
Also, I agree with the previous comment about maybe not telling her that poo is yucky. I did it for my girls, but I know that it's not always a good thing to do. I watched them for signs of anxiety though.
My girls also decorated their potties, it just sort of happened. Another thing I did with my second. I didn't like the poo in the garbage...thought it was too stinky, so I always dumped it in the toilet. I didn't realize at the time, but the baby started to help me dump it in, and that must be how she got that part.
I also think that real young girls could watch daddy go pee cause it's more obvious what is happening...(IDK) I'm sure that some disagree with that.
BUT the shower! It's the best idea I've had all week! You could start with having her get in with you and sit on the floor..eventually she will stand up and you can hose her down!
It's so fast that even IF she cries, it's over before you know it! My older daughter always had to roll up a towel and hold it over her eyes when she took a shower. She's fine now, but it used to drive me crazy. She would scream and I thought the water was too hot. Just the possibility of water getting in her eyes put her over! BUT the towel trick worked good if you come accross that! GOOD LUCK!
