Jan. 10, 2008 - Potty Training
Today has been interesting. My three year old is in the process of potty training and also understands she is her own person. Somehow the two together are not going well. She does really well for several days then decides she does not want to sit on the potty at all. We have stickers and candy rewards, but they are not enough to encourage her to continue on her little journey to becoming a "big girl." She is so full of joy most of the time, dancing and singing. Today she was not happy. She cried and yelled and was beside herself. She had to spend much of her day in time out. I was so taken aback by her behavior, I even took her temperature. She is fine and she is three. I will just relish the joyful days and pray for her on grouchy days.
My twelve year old was not pleased with her sisters behavior today, either. I was proud of her though when she told her little sister, "we all have those days." A glimpse of understanding. Then she looked at me and said, "how long do you think she will be like this?" I stifled a laugh, completely understanding her question. I said, "we will just have to be patient and I will continue to discipline." My patience ran out several hours later and sent the little one to her room for a nap.
