Naively, I thought that if I had two girls, aim issues during potty training would be minimal.

Yup, that was naive.

Jingle for the reluctant pottier when you're trying to get them to go before you go:

always pee when you get the chance
that way you'll never get wet pants


Why yes, I made that up. It makes them laugh at me, and then they go. You know how Bob (of the Church of) says when you're a parent you give up your slack to your children? You give up your dignity too.

My dignity is long, long gone :)

But the puddles on the floor renew themselves every day...

And thereby lives some kind of home truth. It's entirely relevant to my own situation too.

Agh. Linoleum here in some places, but wall to wall carpet in others. :P I have learned to fear the tantrum pee.

Oh, ugh.

I did have to talk Simone out of peeing in her aluminum lunchbox this afternoon, speaking of conversations I thought I'd never have and all.

Heh. M went through a phase of wanting to pee into containers and then dumping that in the potty. We had to have a talk about appropriate sizes. A, meanwhile...wants to stand. (I encourage M to sit, but he sees his Uncle Who Does Not Close The Door.)

Everyone in my house sits down to pee, which has turned out to be quite handy because otherwise I think I'd be facing the same issue right now.
