So interested in going and so excited about it, Mackayla used to DEMAND that I take her to the bathroom at regular intervals. Really. When we got home from Hawaii we only had one diaper left. I kind of thought...ready or not! But when something suddenly becomes required...that's the end of that fun.
So, as far as potty training goes.
Mackayla was potty trained for one week.
She still is, but now she's had three accidents since my last posting. One on the lovesac. Cleaning advice?
It could for sure be worse. At least she's poop trained. (Maybe I just jinxed myself!)
I am potty trained. I don't love being potty trained. Today, neither does she. Frankly I'm not that vigilant. The part we 'negotiate' the most is wiping and getting pants back on. So she often goes naked.
I've discovered there are many definitions of potty trained.
For the record: POTTY TRAINED to me now is knowing you have to go, pulling down your own pants, going, wiping, pulling up your own pants, and not wearing diapers to bed. That is going to be a loong way down the road. :)
In summary, if I could rewind one week I would do and tell everyone I know...to wait until you can negotiate deals with your kid! or at least til they can pull up their own pants:)
How much is a homemaker worth?
According to that article, $96,000/yr
I have always wanted to find that answer. They forgot to add potty training, that should be expensive!

We tried with Olive last summer but it was such a battle of the wills that I made her forget about it. I tried again over spring break and it stuck. Even at night! She'll probably be more ready in a couple months.
I like that article. I still haven't potty trained Benson, I talk about it and it just hasn't happened. Diapers ARE easier in a lot of ways :)
