It's official, our #6 is potty training. This was day one, and we missed the potty every time. Oh, well. I can't believe how many times I've gone through this same process. This time around I have my older girls eager to help. Even our 4yr old loves to cheer her on. With #'s 5 & 6 being a year apart it seems like I just did this, because I did. I have heard that potty training at this age is more "mommy training" than potty training, but I think she is ready. Sure it is lots of work, but it comes with some positives. Such as:
-freedom (no more carrying a diaper bag, now I can carry a nice summer purse)
-cute little bare bum running around the house (it doesn't matter here, there's nothing but girls)
-no more stinky trash, just flush and the smell is gone
-20$ a mo. off our grocery bill
All this shows me that our littlest is growing up, but that's ok with me. It's rare that I get sad about a new stage. It may catch up with me one day. I just love watching them grow and mature. Each year brings a new side of their personality. So for now, pray for me as our pt adventure begins. I'm sure it will come with many funny stories.
Oh my. Potty training is one of my very least favorite things! Hope it's going well! Then, again, I've done it seven times - and it hasn't killed me, yet! :-)
