This past weekend we embarked on a rather ambitious 3-day potty training regime for Kira. While I had heard success stories from lots of other parents, and the recommended age to do this is 22 months (Kira is 26 months); I was pretty skeptical about it actually working for Little Ms. Stubborn. However, we tried it anyhow. We began on Saturday morning, and by the end of the 3rd day (today) we were pretty much at the same point as day 1. That said, she is staying dry during the night and during her naps, so we will keep her diaper free during the night.
Here's a little snippet of what the weekend went like...
Me: "Kira, is it time to go pee?" (noticing that she is dancing around while holding herself)
Kira: "No."
Me: "Let's just sit on the potty anyhow, just in case." (proceed to get her on the toilet)
Kira: "No, no, no, no, no!" (fake tears)
She then stands up while still 'crying' and then pees on the floor next to the toilet. Sigh.
It was pretty frustrating for both of us, thankfully Jon was around to help out because there were times that the pregnancy hormones were getting the best of me!! Oh well, hopefully in a few weeks I'll be singing a different tune about how wonderful it is to have a child that isn't in diapers anymore....
I have a fun video of Kira 'making me dinner', I'll try to post that tomorrow sometime.
On a side note, just want to pass on our congratulations to our friends Steve + Anna, who welcomed their 3rd (!) baby last weekend, a little boy named Miro; and a congratulations to our friends Mike + Lilli, who welcomed their 2nd baby last night, a little girl - just want big sister Amber wanted all along.
