I've Done The Thing I Thought I Could Not Do

At least I think I have.

I'm almost afraid to share this in case that it backfires. But I've been silent on the subject for so long.

Miss Thing is potty trained! Or at the very least very very close. Whoa, just saying it seems near impossible.

We've been working hard at it for the past few weeks. Much of this has only confirmed my belief that I was not meant to potty train anyone. But I have and she is. Although I'm afraid her first cavity might come from getting us potty trained. What can I say? She's motivated by candy. Yesterday we did have an accident, the first in a number of days. We didn't make a big deal with it just cleaned up and moved on.

We're still not there at night time, yet. Although the other morning she did wake up completely dry. That's when I knew. This could be it. The couple of mornings after that were not so much but that's okay. She's done it once, I know she'll do it again.

The beauty of this is that she has been encouraging The Boy a great deal. Think lots of cheering in the loo and picking out big boy undies for him to wear. And I dare say that he too has begun to show signs of progress. Just think. One in diapers. I haven't had that for three years...No. Not a good idea. I can't do that to myself. I think it's best for me to take this one day at a time. I know when he's ready that's when it will happen.

Despite all the potty talk that goes on in this house, it is awfully nice...
