[tri-med] Re: warning - diaper discussion

 
i have never even thought about potty training kaiya but maybe some day it  
will be an idea to consider...
she has started peeing on me when i take her diaper off...i swear she waits  
for me to lift her legs and then...well, you know. she laughs her big deep 
belly  laughs when it happens so i have to think it's done on purpose!

I can't  imagine potty training elanor!  Her favorite pastime is to soil her  
brand new clean diaper less than five minutes after being changed.  
sometimes I think she holds it in until we change her wet one so she can  poo 
in a clean one.  She's a stinker!  We were working on potty  trianing arwen 
when Elanor was born.  She pretty much stopped because  of all the stress of 
having a sick sister.  We didn't have the time  to be really consistant, so 
we just kind of let it go, and she potty  trained pretty much on her own with 
us being cheerleaders.  It's  funny, when you are immersed in it, it is such 
a big deal, but looking  back, you get perspective.  We stress about it, but 
our kids just do  it when they are ready!  Maybe someday elanor will get the 
idea, but  I'm not holding my breath!
