No! I am not ready for this yet!

My daughter is convinced she wants to potty train. Here is the problem

1. She is not even 2!

2. I AM NOT READY!!!!

Potty training is a lot of work and messy work at that. I don't like the messy part at all. My son caught on to this the first time he pooped in underwear and never did it again. It is just gross and luckily he realized that quickly.

My daughter has been pulling me into the bathroom for the past few days to "pee pee". She really does go and is so proud of herself, but I am just not ready for this step yet. Diapers are easy. Yes, you heard me right...easy. I hate it when you are in the middle of a meal in a restaurant and you get to hear to six little words, "Mommy, I have to go potty." When they are first training you can't tell them to hold it either. It is go or deal with the messy consequence. There is a reason that my son wore a pull up for all outings for the first couple months after he potty trained. I don't like to clean up messes!!

I don't know where this sudden eagerness of hers to use the potty is coming from. I am not encouraging it by any means. Yes, I praise her after she goes, but I am not asking her if she has to go. My husband thinks this is absolutely wonderful and that she will be potty trained before she is 2...yeah...I don't think so. It would be great if he was the one home all the time with the kids, but it is me who deals with the brunt of all things kid. He really thinks that he had something to do with our son potty training...right. He was working late at the library on his MBA!!! Nothing wrong with that, but I do deserve the credit on that one and am not willing to share. He did his job and I did mine.

potty break....

Back from the baby going "pee pee". This is really getting old!!!

Maybe I should just rejoice that she has an interest, but I really don't mind another year of diapers. Trust me there are worse things. Like...wet clothes in the middle of a restaurant. Just saying.
