This entry really feels like one from an old school diary of my teenage years; only this time I am confiding in my electronic pages about how I am basically failing at potty training. Oh and publishing it for whoever to read it! Evolution I suppose. Either way it still feels good to let it out...
It seems like I have basically given up on potty training. It is really hard! The hardest part is following the number one rule... "be consistent!" Diapers are extremely convenient and it is hard for me to let them go. It already takes me too long to get anywhere and I don't want to add the extra layer of peeing in the potty before we go, and then having to pull over on JTB when she has to pee pee again! There I said it... "I don't want to."
I think Lula is ready; she is great if we are home and she isn't wearing anything, no accidents. But if she has underwear or just pants on, forget it. Which is where I need to come in... to TEACH her. I need to get myself together and make this happen, but I need some motivation. I keep hearing anecdotes from other parents, "little so and so just decided to use the potty one day and that was that." If I'm truly confessing, I think that's what I'm waiting for. For Lula to look at me one day and say, "okay mom, no more diapers for me I'm going to use the potty all the time." Except even deeper down... I know that's not going to happen.
