Well, like it or not, we have begun potty training. I'm not one of those parents who has been praying for this day to happen for the last two years. If anything, I've been dreading it. I would much rather quickly change a few diapers a day than worry about asking if she needs to go to the bathroom every 15 minutes. Or worse, cleaning up accidents. But, as any responsible parent would do, I have been looking for the signs that she's ready for it, and they're all there. Usually when I ask her if she wants to try to go on the potty, she says "Um,....no." But when I asked her a couple days ago, she shouted yes at me and immediately booked it for the bathroom. So we tried it. The first day was a little traumatic.....for me. After all, I've never done this before. So I did my homework for the second day and after a trip to Target, I came home all prepared with Pull-ups and a little seat (so she would stop falling in) and the second day went much better. So, here we are in day three, and I'm already tired of it. I am oh so tempted to just go back to diapers until she begs me to use the bathroom and is prepared and capable to do everything herself. It's not that she doesn't have the routine down and know what to do. In fact, she talks herself through it every time. It's the fact that she refuses to tell me when she has to go. In fact, she denies it when I ask and ends up wet. How do you get them to acknowledge that they have to go before they go? Any ideas people?
It's a good thing she's cute.
