Literally, and figuratively.
We are definitely not ready for potty training yet. But, we are getting Macie used to the idea. The idea that there is another way... because I really look forward to the day I don't have to change a diaper.
Macie got a potty for Christmas. She loves it. It's still a sparkling clean, never been used bowl. Thank goodness, because recently I saw her taking her Goldfish crackers to the potty... then hours later, reaching into the potty for an afternoon snack.
Then Eric got Macie the DVD: Elmo goes Potty. Talk about a snoozer! Seriously, even Elmo can't make potty time seem all that exciting.
And recently, we've given her some big-girl panties. Every now and then she wears them, does a little dance, and then quickly we transition her into a diaper. And tonight, we weren't quick enough. She got her feet wet.

I totally agree about the Elmo video. Breck loves Elmo, but leaves the room every time I put this video in. Let me know any secrets to potty training that you learn.
You have to go potty in front of her. Show her how it's done. I know it sounds awkward. It's the only way she will learn. Have you done this yet?
Whatttt!>!>? Is it Elmo's Potty Time? We love that one!! We still have a ton of pee accidents but luckily number 2 makes it in the pot. She'll say, "It's a big one, Mom." Good luck, they say that girls are easier but not in my test case.
Awww, good luck! I don't know why, but whenever I come to your blog, I expect to see an announcement that you're pregnant again :)
Yes Mark, thanks for that advice. Never knew you were the guru on this topic.
Katie, does Nora like the video? I don't know, maybe it's Elmo's dad that makes it less unappealing to Macie (and me)... but just like the Wiggles - maybe it will grow on us :)
Amy, Don't rule out a post announcing another pregnancy... but don't hold your breathe either ;)
okay so many people told me their kids love the wiggles and Julia does not remotely like it! We had a potty a long, long time before Julia ever went in it. She didn't go in the potty until after she was two for the first time.
