Im not one of those mothers that hopes and prays her kids will potty train soon, fast or whatever. I never really even considered what to do about it ....just figuring nature will take its course and they would let me know when they were ready for me to help them.
For Katey - that was this week ( OCT 1st to be exact ) ...and I was so completely unprepared. I actually tried to talk her out of it but she begged and pleaded with me to let her go on the potty because she was a big girl now and big girls don't wear diapers.
( Imagine my shocked face kinda going WTH just happened?? Didn't I just give birth to you .....like LAST WEEK ???)
The potty wars took on a whole new meaning in MY house .
OF COURSE I LOST ....going grudgingly to the store where Kate got her own very Dora potty with Dora pull ups ....her skipping in aisles literally shouting she was a big girl .... me snarling at every moron who thought that was a good thing ....not understanding how they could be looking at my BABY and be encouraging her to grow up ....going so far as TO MENTION SHE WAS READY FOR SCHOOL !
If I wasn't holding onto that Dora potty with a death grip (secretly trying to kill it of course ) .... Im quite sure I would have ripped some of those happy faces right off their owners heads and left them right there among the tattered remains of all the pull up boxes I had already vented some frustration on.
( Some Target employee somewhere is going ...OH SO THATS WHAT HAPPENED ....we thought maybe an angry bear had gotten tangled up in the pull ups or something)
Close guys ....a momma bear had to fight off the pulls up coming to claim her child ......
OBVIOUSLY THE PULL UPS WON .
