I must be out of my mind...

I decided to start potty training Juliet this week. *Duhn duhn duhn* I'm still struggling with Jack. (He still won't go #2 in the potty.) All last week, Juliet would say she needed to pee and then run to the bathroom and take off her diaper and climb onto the toilet herself. Who am I to hold her back? So I just threw panties on her and decided to jump in with both feet. Plus, I'm hoping if I start earlier than I started with Maxine and Jack, I can avoid the awful pooping in the underwear thing. (We're going on 10 months with Jack. Maxine did it for 8.) So far, she's made it to the toilet for a #1 and a #2. I think it was a coincidence. But today, she's had far fewer accidents which suggests to me she's learning control.

I'm hoping, and this is a huge hope, that Jack might get in gear when he sees his little sister showing him up on the toilet. She thinks she's as big as Jack. Guess what babe: You're not as big as you think you are.

Wow, you are brave! Joey has been wanting to wear some of Jake's Thomas the tank engine underwear whenever he sees it. He put some on the other day and I got the little potty out to have him try sitting, but he didn't want anything to do with that. He tried to stand in it, instead. Since I still have 2 older boys who don't stay dry at night and a four-year-old who has had a few lapses lately, I think I am going to hold off with Joey for a while. Go Juliet!!!
