Curses on potty training!

[bluiis]

   Still no success.  I let her go diaper-free for 45 minutes, and nothing.  Not a single drop!  And she sat on that potty for quite a bit of the time.  I would've gone for an hour, but her little feet were freezing.  I'm sure shortly after I put her diaper on her, she went.  Grrr...  Why does this have to be so hard?  You know, don't get me wrong, I don't think you should force a child, but these three-year-olds that go around still wearing diapers are ridiculous. 

   Other than the whole potty thing, we've had a great day together.  She's been in the best mood all day, not too clingy, not too detached.  It's been nice.  We went outside earlier, and she had a bunch of fun.  This time, we both made snow angels.  The only bad part was toward the end.  Her gloves had come off, and we were heading back inside.  She fell in the snow, getting snow all over her hands.  She cried so hard!  I stripped off her snow-clothes, and got her hands under lukewarm water, but I felt so bad for her.  Definitely a Florida baby.

   Today I watched the tail end of  the new Barbie Pegasus movie, and really it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  Then I watched the last hour of Anastasia.  Really, that is one of my favorite animated movies, even if it is based on a bunch of malarky.

   Anyway, Jon'll be home in about an hour (that is, if he doesn't have to work late), so I better do the few dishes.  It's been so nice not having to clean house or do the dishes today.  I think I'll have to use one of Sarah's expressions.  Squee!

Aw man, I'm sorry Jill still isn't catching on to the potty training! :\

If it makes you feel any better, one of my nephews will be 3 in less than a month and the other will be 3 in April and neither of them are even close to being potty-trained.

I can sympathize. It's much harder than you'd think it should be, though my goal is to have Jill our of diapers by the time #2 comes along. We finally picked another boy name, btw. We might name it after Jon, but we also came up with William Patrick (Patrick was my dad's name). We don't have any little girls' names picked out, though.

Ooh, I like William Patrick! (I like Jon too, but it's so common.) It sounds very... like one of the pilgrims would have been named that or something. It sounds like a strong Christian founding father, don't you think?

Yeah, I can see it sounding like one of the founding fathers. And if we named the boy after Jon, we would call him probably James or Jimmy or something like that (his name is Jonathan James, which I've always liked, but yes, Jon is popular).
Btw, love your icon. I meant to mention it before; I still have Jill's somewhere, and they're so precious. In one, there's a clear picture of one perfect foot; in another, you can count her little ribs. They're very dear pictures, and I love that you can buy picture frames specifically for the sonogram pictures.

That's really great that you can get them framed. I think it makes people think about how important it is, how real that life inside them is. Of course some will choose to disbelieve it even though they know the truth. =o/
