Potty-Training


Oh, the joys of having a toddler!!
I realize that I have been slack in my postings, and am a little disappointed that my first post (in a while) is nothing spiritual. There really is no teaching, no deep thought, just the happenings of my world. I feel as if lately, someone has pushed the fast-forward button on my life, and I just haven't taken the time to blog.
So, this is what is going on at the Turner home these days - potty-training!! It has been 9 years since we have entered this beautiful phase of a child's life. To be quite honest, I have not been in a hurry to get Kate out of diapers - they are just really convenient!
When Kate goes potty on the potty, she gets a little treat. Caroline had the great idea of putting the treats in a play toilet. So, I thought I would share this picture of Kate holding her toy potty as she eats her treats.

This may be a long road. Kate doesn't seem to be in much of a hurry to get out of the diapers, either. We'll see how this goes. I just feel like it's time because she is over two, and Caroline was potty trained by the time she turned two. I know every child is different. We'll see...

I wish you well. One of mine, who shall remain nameless, was waaaayyy older than two before potty training was complete. I envisioned a college student in Depends, but alas, it finally clicked.

Eating snacks from a potty...hmmm...interesting.

As our boy has just turned 3, I am so happy not to be buying Pull-Ups any more. I wasn't sure when it would all click. He seems to be quite motivated by Spider-Man underwear! I can totally understand your struggle. She'll get there soon.
