So I have always had the same lackadaisical approach to potty training for all my girls, which is..here is a potty, if you want to use it great, if not..great. Well all of my girls just one day woke up and never wore diapers again its been a real dream. Faith on the other hand has been wildly different. For instance, we call Faith the bathroom valet, she insists on escorting people to the bathroom, she insists on dispensing properly meted out portions of toilet paper, and then also insists on flushing. So whats the big hold up?
The other day, I was delighted when, for no apparent reason Faith was asking me to get her potty from the garage. I go and get her fancy baby Bjorn potty and dust it off and to my amazement she seats herself on it for a good half an hour. I get myself all in a dither and get her some underwear to wear I can barely contain myself I am so giddy! only about 5 minutes later she comes to me completely soaked in her pants..her little pink crocs filled with urine..Perfect! just what I like, I mean its not a big deal these things happen. So, I clean her up and get her a new pair of underwear only 10 minutes she comes to me with them filled with you know what..pooh! I mean, what the heck! So I decide that delicate poop filled underwear extraction isn't in the cards for me, I grab a pair of scissors and cut them off her, This time I tell her to just use the potty for crying out loud! Only 5 minutes later, she is sitting on her potty using the pot as a top hat! It was at this point that diapers were called for and now the baby Bjorn is now used as a stepping stool, a t.v. viewing seat, and a polly pocket swimming pool...neat huh?

lol. She is such a character. I didn't know she was the bathroom valet. That made me laugh the most. I feel your pain. Riley one day woke up and he was potty trained day and night. Jeremy, well.... we've tried everything. Ughhhh. I just don't like changing diapers on kids as old as Jeremy and Faith. Well hopefully they'll do it soon.
