One point for Kj


I lost in the battle to get Kj potty trained. I gave up yesterday. She's been wearing underwear at home for two or three weeks now. Following my sister's lead, I tried to buckle down on Monday and get it done, but to no avail. She keeps using her underwear as the toilet, despite a little potty being right next to her in her bedroom. I was getting to mad and frustrated, and called it off. Apparently Thomas stickers and toy engines aren't enough motivation. Sigh. She'll be 3 1/2 in April. Well, it will have to be done by August so she can start preschool this year. Kj is definitely her own person, and very determined. If only I could channel that into healthy avenues. :)

I fear that Katie might have taught her that little trick of ignoring the potty when it's within 6 inches of her. They must have been chatting about it when they were pretending to innocently play princesses.
