Potty training is such a funny process.
\n Eve does really well, most of the time. She has accidents on
\n occasion and I can usually understand why (we’re in the grocery
\n store with tons of stuff going on, for example). Yesterday she
\n even choose to nap in her bed with underwear on (her option
\n each day is that or the pack-n-play with a diaper). She had a
\n good nap and woke up dry! I was amazed. She’s in the bed again
\n with underwear napping now, so we’ll see how she does this
\n time.<\/p>\n
Then other times she seems to
\n forget that she’s potty training. I was trying to cook dinner
\n the other night and she peed her pants three times! Each time I
\n put her on the toilet and she peed more. The second time I was
\n surprised and by the third time I couldn’t even fathom where
\n all this pee was coming from! Sometimes she gets really upset
\n when she has an accident and other times she doesn’t seem to
\n care. This morning she walked into the bathroom where I was
\n doing laundry and said “I pooped in underwear.” All casual
\n like, no big deal. Sure enough she did and it was messy (good
\n thing I was doing laundry!)<\/p>\n
You gotta be
\n cool about it, but sometimes I find myself wondering what’s
\n going on in her head. Maybe she did just forget about the potty
\n thing, or was distracted and it snuck up on her, or whatever. I
\n usually end up just saying “Oh, Eve.” and she shakes her head
\n and says “No pee underwear” (a little self reminder) and we
\n clean things up. It’s a funny process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
