It's official: T is not ready to potty train. She loves to take her diaper off, so I thought we'd give it a try. She has good bladder control, but doesn't have the faintest idea what it means to go pee pee on the toilet. She loves to sit on the toilet, and sit and sit and sit, and then flush and flush and flush. It's just the peeing part she doesn't get. More than once, she has sat on the toilet and done nothing and then peed on the floor while washing her hands. I thought maybe the running water was the trick, but turning the tap on while she sits on the toilet doesn't seem to help. But I could deal with all of that. It was the pile of poop on the bath mat that made me decide to wait a month or two and try again. The other day, she was wearing her panties and playing upstairs with the big kids. The next thing I know, the girls are freaking out and telling me that T pooped on the floor. I pictured horrible smears of poop everywhere, but fortunately, it was all in one place, as if she just figured that the bath mat was a better place to poop than the toilet. Great. I figure I lucked out this time, and I'm quitting while I'm ahead--or at least not too far behind. Hopefully, she'll be more ready in a few weeks, in the meantime, I'll keep buying diapers.
