Numero Cinco ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Maybe I'll try some plain undies this weekend and spend a lot of time out doors.
If we were living in our own place, I'd feel better about letting her run around without a pull-up, but as we're living with my folks, I'd hate for her to pee all over everything.
David's solution was my SIL's for my niece--for her Easter basket the year she turned three, they gave her a bunch of frilly panties in the basket along with the standard Easter goodies.
it's "Mommy! I hafta go potty!"
Aimee, I was talking about you and this story last weekend. I figure it's their payback for us making them say please and thank you all the time.

Ya know, I think yer onto something there.
She did it last night round 2-3am. Standing in the doorway to her room, behind the baby gate, crying, "Mommy! Daddy! I wanna go poooooooooooootty!" I got her, asked her if she needed to go and she said, "No. No thanks. I fine."
We got Emmett out of diapers by buying lots of cool Disney underwear. He coveted having Buzz Lightyear briefs.
We have every character he loves in underwear AND pull ups. I let him pick out Buzz and Lightening McQueen pull ups and now when I ask him to put them on, he screams, "Noooooo!" I always offer him the choice: Pull Up or Underpants. Nope. He runs from me screaming.
We have Elmo's potty video, Bear in the Big Blue House potty video. We have Once Upon a Potty, Too Big for Diapers and Everybody Poops.
I'm so stressed about toilet training that I want to cry on a daily basis.
I should window shop for corsets.
Oh, man, I have a new timesuck: [link]
Go see what happened on this date in 1756 at the Old Bailey!
Also, total slash subtext.

Easier said than done, I know, but try not to stress about it. I finally had to just come to accept that Em is pissed about not controlling where she lives and not going to school all the time and so she's exerting some control by peeing where she wants, not where mommy and daddy want. OTOH, it's been SO HARD to not take it personally and wonder why my child must spite me so. But, it's SO EFFING HARD not to stress about it. Sometimes, I just want to shake her and say, "WHO ARE YOU PEEING FOR???"
I wonder if the non-parents get tired of the topic. But maybe it's just like cats or baseball.
Exactly like cats or baseball. Except more interesting to me. :)
It IS a little werid how much it's changed around here, but so be it--change or die!
Nora's link is indeed the slashiest thing in the history of jurisprudence. (Or, okay, maybe not, but still! slashy!)

This is me wrt Ellie sleeping through the night. I know she doesn't need to nurse for anything other than comfort. I'm not going to cut her off, but I'm so ready for her to just lose interest.
