Why did I get it in my stubborn, little head that Eve needed to be potty trained before the twins came home? Why did I beg and bargain and plea and bribe? Why did I waste money on pull-ups? Each attempt I made at potty-training Eve was a massive failure! Her stubbornness met mine head-on, and it was a true battle of the wills!! I'll never forget her looking at me, not smiling but wanting to, as tee tee runs down her leg, through her panties (the THIRD PAIR OF THE DAY)...after she had been in time out and given a spanking for REFUSING to use the potty! Why did I put myself through that???
A week ago, Eve decided she didn't want to wear a diaper anymore. So, I got her some panties. I asked her every thirty minutes or so if she needed to go. Each time, she would look at me so confused and say, "but mommy, i didn't TELL you I needed to tee tee!!" So I left it alone. About thirty minutes later, she informed me that she needed to use the potty, so we did...and she did it! The first two days, she pooped in her panties, but each time she needed to tee tee, she told me...even in the middle of naptime. On the third day, she got #1 and #2 down and was SO over wearing diapers (even through the night). I was a little hesitant about her wearing panties to bed, but she has not had ONE accident! NOT ONE! IN 5 DAYS! And I ask again, why did I torture myself because I WAS READY? Obviously, when the girl gets something on her brain, she accomplishes it... I am one proud mommy.
I need to read this again in two years when I'm ready for the twins to be out of diapers... :)
