Wondering why I can get my daughter to pee in the potty almost exclusively for a week, but she still poops her pants... repeatedly. I just changed a poop Pull-up, she went again and when I asked why she didn't use the potty, she said, "it was time to take a dump." :roll:

I'm about to change another diaper, I suppose...

Same problems as my daughter was potty training. #1 no problems. #2 thought we had the battle one, then about a 6 week regression filled with a bunch of filled up underpants. What finally did the trick for her (as she neared her 4th birthday :mad:) was she HAD to be fully potty trained to attend the kids program at Mount Snow last winter.

Now my son, who turns 3 the end of this month, basically was 100% potty trained for both #1 and #2 in less than a week, and this was about 3 months ago. One day he just came home from daycare and told us that he wanted to wear underpants like a big boy and that he's use the potty now, and that was it :rolleyes:

Kids :rolleyes:

Just got out of a meeting with my new boss. My job role is changing in a major good way I hate to admit this, but after all the layoff's, I'm going to wind up with a much better job. It's gonna be a ton of work, but probably less stressful

A pediatrician we used when my oldest daughter was of the age to anticipate potty training convinced me that regardless of what we do, kids stop soiling themselves when they're ready to stop soiling themselves. I remember him telling me that he's never known of a kid going away to college that still crapped his/her pants.

From that day on, we'd encourage the kid(s) by making a potty available to them but didn't stress about it. Life got lots better almost immediately. :)

Ours said the same... but we can't really afford to keep buying diapers and Pull-Ups. Gets way too expensive... and I really did not enjoy cloth diapering. So it's a little stressful financially. Plus she's been dabbling in potty training for 2 years now (been waking up dry for that long). She knows how; she's just stubborn.

This was was annoying since we had called the person about lunchtime to see if they could come in a bit earlier, and they said that they'd rather keep their scheduled 4PM time. If no accident was involved, likely a no-show charge will be headed their way. :mad:

Right now I've got both my parents in the chairs in my office and I'm deciding if I want to inflict some "mental torture" or not ;)

Thinking about driving to Trader Joe's. I haven't been since the little guy was born and gas started getting really expensive (it's 45 minutes away). But there are a few things I'd like for baking and with how cheap gas is, I can justify driving there again without taking a hit on the savings. Just unsure because of the mixed precip expected all day...

Trader Joes has the best cheap red wine ever. Charles Shaw I think it's called. It's about $3 a bottle. At the Westfield store, people walk out of there 3 to 4 cases at a time.
