Well I am in the midst of one of the biggest struggles of being a mommy so far. This potty trainning business is really testing my patience. But we may have had a breakthrough.
It is amazing how your children respond when they are just ready. We have been trying to do this off and on for around 7 months. But suddenly last week, Caroline decided it was time.
I have to admit, during those 7 months I was not always the kind of mom that I wanted to be. I would get short with her and REALLY frustrated. I would feel like since this is my full time job, I was failing is some sense. It really took a lot of self talk to stop that line of thinking (not to mention some great support from my husband).
But now, we have some success (4 days without a pee-pee accident). I guess I need to learn to wait for the right time and not push my own schedule. God has a plan. I just need to listen more.

at least you have success...Zoe is being very stubborn about this and will only go here at home. not for anyone else (not even Grandma), just me. if she could, she'd hold it all day until we got home from school/daycare--sometimes she does too. i wonder where she gets her stubborn streak from...?
I've come to realize that potty training is a LOOOOOONG, drawn-out process. Sarah's been peeing on the potty since well before her 2nd birthday... 6 months later, she rarely has a wet accident, but I cannot convince her that pooping on the potty won't be "too hard" as she says.
