Day One of really trying to potty train my daughter. She has peed on the carpet, the bathroom rug, the side of the sideboard in the dining room - and basically everywhere except the potty. Larry really wants a dog, but I told him I can't deal with a puppy until my daughter is house-broken! I really can't understand how people do it. Some say to put her on every hour or half-hour - tried that - Parker just howls; some say let her go commando and pee anywhere - Mommy just howls, others say, we'll know when the time is right - well she's almost two and a half - isn't it time yet? Sometimes she will flat out tell me she does not want to go ("I'm dry"), or when I ask her if she will tell me she has to go she flat out says "No." I think she's got this thing with the potty - they are at a stand-off and she's not budging.
Every woman I know was trained before 18 months! What's happening today or at least with me? Is it that we're all working too hard to dedicate the time or have the disposable diapers made it too easy to get comfortable with our kids carrying loads behind them? I tell you, I almost cried with joy when I put on those beautiful big blue and green spotted Target diapers a bed time - I knew I had at least until the morning before I was peed on again.
