Giving it a go -- without the "go"...

Lia decided one night that she wanted to try going on the potty. She assured us "NO MORE DIAPERS!!" rather enthusiastically and got all fired up. Then she sat, for about 5 seconds, and decided nothing was happening and got bored. Then 10 seconds later decided she'd try again. Again, no luck. At some point she peed in the potty and then had an accident on the floor.

While she's very excited to be diaper free, she hasn't quite gotten the hang of it and won't really let us help her. Our kids are kind of independent, if you didn't know.

The next day we went out and bought her some Dora underwear so she wouldn't have to parade around in Max's Spiderman chonies. She actually enjoyed them! She's close to wanting to be potty trained, but so far, not much success (very little failure though, if you count accidents as failure). I'm not in that much of a hurry, either. I waited until Max was truly ready and he did great. Fingers crossed that maybe Lia will be the same!

um, no doubt about it, that last picture needs to be framed and in your room, so whenever you get annoyed with lia or with life...you go in, stare at that for a minute and you'll feel so much better. i LOVE it.
