I Give Up. She Wins This Round

We called it quits on the cold-turkey potty-training.  Perhaps I was being a little ambitious.  Or maybe Lily's a little stubborn.  Sometimes I think she's more grown-up than she is.

It's hard, cause she seems so grown up at times.  But at other times, as all toddler-mommies know, you are reminded that she's still just a baby.  I mean, she might be enjoying taking the lead on walks... but just two years ago she was a smushy baby who couldn't do a blessed thing on her own. 

Two and a half years old is a little young to expect full potty training.  And she's GREAT during the day, even on outings.  But she's just not ready to handle all night in panties.  And that's okay.  I gave it a little over a week trial period... in which I washed two dirty sheets every day ;o)  In my defense, I was trying to get her fully potty trained before the grandparents come to babysit for our vacation.  It would have been easier for them if she was diaper-free.  But hey, it is what it is.  We'll give it another go later this summer.

In the meantime, tomorrow morning we're picking Aunt Cassie and cousin Zave up from the airport!  I can't wait to rub Cassie's baby belly (and say hi to my future niece for the first time!), squeeze my nephew, and sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee and the good conversation that always comes with time spent with my Sis-in-law.
