We love it that you have a blog! Keep up the posts--its a fun way to keep in touch and see how you are doing in Elkton. Does anyone else there have a blog we can add to our list?
Robin, you have no idea how tempting that is. She is a sweetie though, good thing.
Sally, I like the wait approach.
I have found the carrot though, we dance everytime she puts anything in the potty. She will tinkle just a drop so the whole fam damily will come in the bathroom and dance around. Silly girl. \ Chrissy! I miss you. I don't know of any other bloggers out here... I'm on a mission to find them. :)
Quick, call the doctor! Because I am LOVE STRUCK! Oh. My. Goodness. That face, those lips, eyes, cheeks, chin, legs, toes, hands, eyebrows. What a complete darling.
Hi Melissa! I love reading you blog - saw it as a link on Maren's. Your kids are so cute! I can't say I have any suggestions, except patience and use the older kids as examples. I finally started a blog of my own, it's Grammiesspace.blogspot.com, and I think I have to invite you to join it the way I set it up.
I agree with Sally's advice. If you rememeber, I wait until they are probably waaay to old- but as soon as we celebrate their 3rd birthday, (well, maybe a few weeks after!) we go buy big kid underpants- preferrably ones with princesses or superheroes on them. With Sydney, Brad and Scott, it took less than a week. I think by that time they understand the concept of "I have to go to the bathroom!" Good luck. Lily is delicious!
“The biggest mistake I made [as a parent] is the one that most of us make. . . . I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of [my three children] sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” Anna Quindlen

You've already done this three times, I can't offer any advice. My strategy is always to wait way too long, until they are so old.
Lily is so cute! She is a little munchkin!
I have forgotten any advice that I may have had. Lily is adorable! Send her to me and I will potty train her.
So cute.

I love Lily! She is adorable! Only advice I have is wait till they tell you they want to do it and they know what to do.
Good luck and enjoy that sweet little girl!
