Today, dd1 (2.9) has wee-ed on her bed twice, and then smeared poo all over our dining table, over the seat of an upholstered dining chair and over a recipe book.
She has been potty-trained for 3 months or so and most days she gets through the day without an accident. She certainly knows that poo and wee belong in the potty, and I still praise her when she gets it right.
I don't mind genuine accidents, but today she has definitely been doing it deliberately.
The first time was when we got back to the house at lunchtime and I explained to her that I wanted to open an important letter that was on the doormat, then I would get her lunch straight after that. She ran upstairs to her bedroom crying, sat on her bed and wee-ed on it.
The next time was when I had to say no to her about something else; I offered a substitute but that wasn't acceptable to her and again she ran upstairs, sat on her bed and wee-ed on it.
After that I told her I was cross but that I love her, and we had a cuddle and chat. I made her some toast and she wanted to eat it in the dining room. I went to breastfeed dd2 in the sitting room, then dd1 came in and said the heart-sinking words "I've done a poopoo on the dining table". It was a truly revolting scene - she'd smeared it everywhere.
I'm not sure what sort of discipline to use for this. Normally if she makes a mess by spilling milk or painting where she shouldn't, I get her to help clean it up, but obviously that isn't an option in this case. I gave her time out, but that didn't seem to make much impact.
Help!
