Who says it's easier to train girls? To be fair, we are starting to train Kali 5 months before we started Trenton ( 2 yrs 4 months vs. 2 yrs 9 months), but Trenton literally got it in 4 days. We are on Day 10 and to count we have 3 pee-pee's in the potty and 2 poo-poo's. It's not the poor girls fault - I just get too busy to sit her on the potty and read books until she goes...over and over. I usually do good the first 5 trips, and then I get the illusion that she might actually act on the urge herself and ease up a bit. Acting on the urge has onl happened twice, but I'm holding onto the fact that it HAS happened...it can happen again! We don't have the luxury of waiting like we did with Trenton...her urine gives her horrible, painful diaper rashes that have sent us to pediatric dermatologists. So the adventure begins. I do have to say it is so fun seeing her delightful personality through all of this. Her latest line today went like this:
Mom: "Kali, do you need to pee-pee in the potty."
Kali: "Maybe next time." (in her sing-song voice, big smile, head bobbing back and forth)
This is Kali in her very first pair of underwear and her favorite bathroom pasttime (I wonder who she got this one from!).
