I was customizing my template for theFlickrite.com when my daughter, Sophia, turned to me with excitement. "Mom, potty train! Potty train! Choo-choo!!!," raising her voice as she ran towards her play spot. I followed and saw that she lined up her Dora ride-on car, toddler chair and toys like a train with her potty-trainer on the lead. Instead of singing "Dinosaur Train", she changed the lyrics to "Potty Train... Potty Train..." Amazingly, it was pun to me! I was so delighted that I quickly grabbed my camera to document this...
That had only been 2 weeks, I guess, when I started potty-training her. She's three and I know it's a bit late as she's already yelling NO to me. I've learned her pattern after a week. When I have a chance, I'll sit beside her till she does it. I did got a chance the other day. Oh, how she cried pining for a diaper! She tried to stand up a lot of times but I kept her down. I was really adamant. At the same time, I tried my best to distract her with a game on her laptop. Nerve-wracking for the two of us. Finally, after 30 minutes or so, she did it. But I only got lucky twice on that day.
She's back to her pink pull-ups though. Tomorrow, she'll be out of her comfort zone!
