Oh how I wish we could conquer this next milestone with Millie. I'd like to think the time was near that we could do away with pull-ups but the reality is we're not even close! Yes,
occasionally she starts her day with a pair of panties and she has managed to tinkle on the potty a few times but mostly I end up cleaning up accidents all over the house. When asked if she needs to sit on the potty she replies "no, it makes me sad."
Hmmm...how do I reason with that? Don't we teach them to share their feelings and shouldn't I honor her feelings? Or is she already a master at manipulation? I've been down this road twice before and I should know by now they're all different and when they're ready it will happen. Sam was the same way. No interest at all and then he turned 3 and voila he was potty-trained. It was almost like it happened overnight. And after all Amelia seems to be cut from the same mold as her brother. Both a little slow to talk, both require very little sleep and yet seem to have endless amounts of energy and they are both such great little snuggle bugs. So maybe I should hold out until 3 before I get too worked up and then again she's her own little person maybe it will be closer to 4.....oh Lord please help me!
