In the throes

We are currently about 24 hours into potty training at this house. We've tried before but it was terribly frustrating and we put it off after a non-cooperative toddler. Also, with our weekends at Disney we have been happy to not have the bother of finding a bathroom every five minutes, as you do with a training child. This weekend C had to work on Saturday so we (I) decided that we would stay home this weekend and power train. The foundation had been set: he's been training at daycare for at least a month (although he's been very non committal at daycare as of late) and between diaper changes he's been running to the bathroom.

As of about 6pm last night, we are a daytime diaper-free household. I've been saying "Henry, do you need to go potty?" so many times I'll probably start saying it in my sleep, but we've had no accidents so far (it's early).

I had an obligation for a couple hours this afternoon so I left the kids here with working C. While there, I mentioned (slightly complained) about potty training and one of the ladies said "embrace it. blah blah blah my kids out of the house ..." Bah. WHY? I embrace a lot of the time with my kids. I hope I don't actually remember potty training.

You remember everything. I'll just remember the good.
