Potty Training My Toddler

Certainly makes me feel older. My daughter is just shy of 2 1/2 years old and she had been showing positive signs for saying good-bye to diapers. So I held a potty party for her this past weekend, with the help of her dad,  it was initally a successful day. By the end of the long day “L” (our daughter) was doing the whole shhbang solo.

Three days later, L is still having accidents. I’ve discovered it is much more work to clean up an accident, then change a diaper, and around dinner time today I almost threw in the towel and resorted back to diapers. Then I felt myself getting older after two accidents fresh out of the bath tub, L must have sensed my frustration too as she smiled and yelled “dammit”.

I thought to myself, “lovely”, then turned my face away from her and burst out laughing. I am thankful that my daughter keeps me laughing, even in through my frustrations.

So we’ll keep working on the potty training and also go to work on my own potty mouth tomorrow.
