Ha! I’m over that. We got a new rug that I love more than my kiddos… not risking #1s and #2s on my rug… I mean baby!

Well I guess you should just go fro the cocktail. My mom never quite potty trained me fully so here I am running around with no drawers on all the time and playing with my doo-doo. Sure, it’s made for some strange adjustments when making friends and finding a date, but at least I did learn how to make a damn good cocktail! It also helps to find a nice place with hardwood floors.

Ohhhh potty training. Not much fun at all. We started last Nov and she threw out all her diapers and did the undies and tshirt thing and everytime she started going we rushed to the bathroom and even if she finished just a little she got a treat. Then she just started running to the bathroom herself yelling at me to follow. We didnt use night time diapers or pullups when we left the house…we trashed them all. After 2 1/2 days (I hated those 2 days) She was a big girl!! I think since November we have had maybe 3 or 4 accidents. Good luck Beckey I know it gets crazy but its so nice once they are done.

I say it is never too early to drink, if that’s what’ll get you through the day! Potty training SUCKS, but when it over, oh, joy! Good luck and stick with it. Letting her have accidents is how she will learn to hold it and make it to the potty.

Jake and I were the same way. No weaning or transition necessary for anything at all, except this potty training crap, which has me drinking WAY earlier than 10.30 sometimes.
And just set your watch to East Coast time. It’s later here than it is there.

I’m right with you on all this. Nothing in my life has ever frustrated me like this. I’ve cried. Several times.

Hey, if I looked that darn cute sitting on the toilet, I’d post pictures of myself!

I can’t wait till she’s 16 and sees that you posted these pictures.

Lisa is totally right. Commando is the way to go. I potty trained both my boys that way, obviously in the summertime, and it worked like a charm. They wouldn’t pee on the floor so they would play like daddy and go off the back porch (eww) or go in the toilet.

And also try something she really likes as a potty only treat. And try something mommy really likes (vodka perhaps?) as a potty only treat. Every time she goes, you get a shot. Fun, eh?

I don’t have kids yet but I’ve heard that when you are potty training them you should let them go commando. When she has underwear on it feels like a diaper, but when they are commando, they are more aware… I know a kiddo this worked on. Obviously when you leave the house a diaper is required. Just a thought…

When potty training a child, 10:30 in the morning is too LATE to start drinking. You’ve got some catching up to do, woman!
