Hiya ladies. We made it to Ash Wednesday service last night but we got 2/3rds of the way there (it's almost 30 minutes away) and questioned our sanity with both kids crying. All was well once every we got there though.
S has become really interested in the potty asking to take off her diaper and sit on it frequently. Except she sits on it for all of 2 seconds and gets up yells 'I did it! Yay!' (when nothing has happened). I don't know what to do, taking off a diaper for that is a PITA, but I also don't want to discourage the potty.
I give you credit aggiebug. We didn't get to church here. Norah had swim class and has already missed so many due to illness/vacation and typing this out makes it sound like a terrible excuse. Regatdong the potty, I feel like that's what's gonna happen to us down the road. I have actually not brought the little potty back out from the party. Ooopops! I know she's not ready though.
An old friend reached out to me on Google chat last night right as I was drifting off to sleep. I havent talked to her in a few years so I stayed up to chat. In the middle of the convo, I stopped getting replys so I'm not sure what happened there. I would have liked to finish up our chat...
There was a dusting of snow when I woke up. It was weird to see, which is weird to say in winter in Chicago. But actually I am seeing buds on my trees now so I think spring is right around the corner!
Ash wednesday service went well. DH did end up taking V to the nursery for the last bit but the service was nice. There is a new pastor and we haven't been since he started; he seems nice and had a good sermon.

aggiebug we have exactly the same situation - she even takes off her pants and her diaper on her own so that she can go sit on the potty but she doesn't sit there long enough for anything to happen. She's peed on the potty once - I she still can't tell when she has to go but if she thinks of it she wants to take her diaper off.
She also likes to pull her pants back up without putting her diaper back on and gets super cranky when we make her put a diaper back on. I've been debating pull ups but I don't think we're ready for that. I told DH we're going to have to start wrapping duct tape around her diaper so she keeps it on.
dmorgendorffer thankfully she hasn't gotten to the point where she takes off her own pants and diaper. I would go crazy I think. I found S usually tells me after she just went in her diaper. Like this morning she said she wanted to go poop in her potty right after she loaded her diaper.
V is in the same place. He asks to go potty, sits on it for seconds and then is done. Several times he has either just gone or goes right after. But we encourage it and maybe one day he will actually go on the toilet.
DS sometimes tells us that he peed or pooped. Sometimes he has and sometimes he hasn't. And he's more interested in touching the toilet and water than sitting on it. I feel potty training is a long way off.

We are about to buy the stand alone potty.... have the one that goes on the toilet (got it last year with pampers points lol) but our toilet is the higher one (comfort level?) and way too tall for him.... I don't think he's ready yet but he just likes to copy us .
