There was a time when I thought potty training Erin would be a breeze. And I guess it might have been if I had taken the time to devote to it. I just could NOT remember to take her to the potty every hour and she was soaking her pull-ups. They are more expensive, so I didn’t want to waste them. I started putting her back in regular diapers. And they are a pain to take on and off to sit on the potty. So I would get all annoyed when she would say, “I have to go pee pee!” instead of encouraging her. She seems to want to go potty at the most inopportune times (like when I am breastfeeding), not when I actually ask her if she has to go. She still mostly goes poop on the potty, but sometimes not. We are nowhere near being successfully potty trained.

I hear you on that – Ethan has been going back and forth with loving being on the potty and then being downright opposed to it….I think the whole process is going to take longer than I thought. But in your case, you have a so much going on with three kids and one of them being a newborn, so I can’t imagine how tough that must be. Hang in there!

Hang in there..I remember those days! Chelsi is right…I don’t know how you do it with three kids and one being a newborn. Some kids are just easier to train than others

I don’t look forward to this at all. Good luck!
