I've been afraid to say anything. But...
It appears that we may only have 3 1/2 kids in diapers now! The week before Thanksgiving was when this came about. I asked Leila if I could get rid of her diapers. She just said "yes." It was that easy. Up until then the potty had been hit or miss (mostly miss) and we had given up on anyone potty training in 2008.
Apparently when things get too overwhelming God intervenes. And this intervention has come at just the right moment!
Of course now we must worry about changes of clothes, potty chairs in the van, and all of that excitement. But I'll take it!
She's still having accidents but I'm optimistic. M & J potty trained so much earlier and so much easier. I was kind of expecting the girls to be even faster then them. Not the case. Leila is still having some trouble making it to the potty when she needs to poop.
In honor of her potty training success I share this little song with you all...
