Potty Training

No. There will be no more for a bit longer. I just cannot handle it. She is just not ready. She wants to be ready. She wants to wear underwear, particularly the Care Bear ones. However, the M&M's are not enticement enough to sit on the potty. She likes the M&M's, and she likes the idea of getting a Thomas the Tank Engine movie when she stays dry all day. It just isn't working out.

I feel terrible about this because part of the problem is that I cannot be in two places at one time. Either Finwe really needs me (like crying, rocking to sleep, or eating) or Larien wants to sit on the potty for 20 mintues. Both of these activities take time that I have to give to both of the children at home at the time. Okay, enough griping. If I keep typing I'll just start thinking more about this whole situation and feel even worse about Larien getting the shaft when it comes to attention right now.

I have been in the same place with all three of my older children. I thought Daisy would be easier because there is no baby after her....I didn't take into consideration that I would be in and out of the house most days to drop off and pick up kids from school, attend sport games and practices, etc..In other words, we didn't make it very far on Friday. Just hang in there and know you are not alone!
