It's Potty Time!

Today will be part one of an ongoing conversation. First, potty training, everyone has ideas on how to get it to work but the truth is, nothing has stuck. My new plan, lets just see what happens.

So potty training is hard. She doesn't like the treat option, for example. This is how a normal interaction goes.

• She makes a face as if she just lifted a car.
• I ask "are you pooping?" 
• She grunts "yes."
• She begrudgingly moves to the child potty.
• I attempt to remove the diaper and the freak out commences.
• I am able to place her on the toilet with what I would call mild anger on her end.
• This is where it gets tricky, we sit sing and calm down for roughly thirty minutes of intermittent anger and joy.
• After asking if she has completed the task and informing her that a treat will be following completion if the doody, hahahaha get it duty sounds like doody!
• She stands the task has not been completed and we exit.
• She poops in her diaper fifteen minutes later and thus the tale ends.

This isn't a cry for help but more a retelling of our day to day. So next time you take care of business be glad somebody taught you.

Have a great day and smile, it could always be worse,
