Write it down: Friday, February 4. The start of our official potty training campaign. I know I'm totally being judged right now by moms who have "been there, done that" and say that I'm just wasting my time right now. But I don't care because my strategy is this: Just get her used to sitting on a potty. Can you imagine for 11 months doing all your business in a diaper, then all of a sudden you're sitting diaper-less on a hole? I'll admit, I snickered the first time I sat her on the potty and her arms flew up and her face tensed as she fought the "falling" feeling. You know what I'm talking about. So, I'm content with just letting her sit on it a couple times a day and talking... a lot... about using the potty.
Waverly doesn't care about the potty or its purpose. She's not interested in even playing with the little potty we bought for her. If she goes in the bathroom, her sole purpose is to unroll the toilet paper or dumpster dive in the trash can, maybe play it like a drum. But that's fine. She'll use the potty one day... hopefully sooner rather than later, but we'll see.
