Do Not Fault on the Training!!!

It has reached that time in your sweet little life.....the time to become a big girl and use the potty!!!  YAY!!!! No more diapers, no more soggy hiney, no more crinkly sounds when you walk or run!!  Soon we'll be able to buy those cute little character panties that you keep pointing at when we are in the store!!  Oh that will be such a happy day for mommy!!!!!!  The money that I will save alone will help out tremendously as you continue to grow and grow.  I'll be able to get you a lot of the outfits and jammies that you want and that I would love to see you in.  It will be  a great time in our lives!!!

Little did I know that you seem to like peeing in your diaper and now the traded off pull-ups.  Not what I was hoping.  You always followed me or whomever to the bathroom like it was the great excursion!!  Didn't need to be watched, I can potty all by myself.  I know it's an amazing feat but it's one that you my dear need to grasp.  And rather sooner than later.  So by the advice of previous potty trainers we have begun with the whole "let me know when you have to go", which you never do and the "timing of the potty" which you don't like and feel rushed.  This whole section of toddler life is a bit trying for the mommy.

I know I need to be patient but I love it when you get excited because you actually pee peed in the potty and then I get excited and we high five and everyone is excited!!!!!  Yes your mom is very cheesy!  Just you wait until you get older, you are in for a very rude and extremely cheesy awakening ;)

Here's to the next few months of training.  Wish us luck!!!!

I know that I lose my temper with you....A LOT! It's not that I am angry with you, it's just that I really have not a clue as to what I am doing. I know that you are still very little and still learning, as I am still learning to not be so harsh and demanding. I am having the hardest time doing this with so little direction or  help. Granted, your aunts and uncles are fantastic but as you will learn from me, I hate to have someone do what I need to do. Your grandmother always said to me that you are to do for yourself and never ask for help unless you are truly unable to help yourself. I struggle with this every day little one, to find that balance to help you be the best that you can be and to not be so harsh in raising you. 

I know that the past few weeks have been like a roller coaster for  you. Some days are really good and there are those bad days that we wished would hurry up and go away. I honestly can't thank you enough for being the amazing little girl that you are. I am truly sorry for being so impatient and so demanding of you. I am even more appreciative of you just loving me regardless of mommy still learning how to be a mommy. I will try my best to be more patient, more understanding and less demanding.

Try not to hold it against me ;)
