Arrrrgggghhhh. So here we are with Reese at age 2 1/2 and I thought we were all done with the diapers. She's potty trained for the most part. Yes, there's been an accident here or there-- but those have been pretty sporadic ever since I told her for each accident we are cutting up one of her most prized possessions-- a binkey. One binkey for every accident. And it was working until last night.
No joke--15 minutes after she went potty on the toilet-- she went again-- this time, all over the couch and throw pillows. YUCK! After stripping the couch cushions and pillow covers and giving Reese a bath-- we got her very favorite pink binkey and gave it the old snip. (She's now down to one). Reese didn't even squeeze out a tear. Greer on the other hand, broke down into body wracking sobs. She was heartbroken over Reese losing her favorite and bestest pink binkey. Go figure. I'm now ready to sign up for parenting 101.

I'm proud of you for sticking to your rules, even though it did cause heartache. I'm pretty impressed.
Okay, that is so funny in a tortured mom sort of way that I can totally relate to. If you can figure out how to get her to stop wetting PLEASE let me know. My seven (yes, SEVEN) year old is STILL having accidents. It's killing me!
Speaking of parenting. My sis-in-law created a new blog where moms can talk about parenting issues and get help and advice from each other. It's pretty cool. It's villageformoms.blogspot.com. Hope everyone is doing well. Miss seeing you at church.

Ella's not potty trained, either. She'll be 3 April 10th. It's mostly my fault cause I don't want to deal with the messes so keep her in pull-ups! Ryan didn't train until after his 3rd birthday, but then he was trained literally in 3 days! I'm hoping Ella does the same! Good luck!
I swear potty training is harder than 9 months of pregnancy and labor put together!! Hang in there :)
