Pants on the Ground & Puddles on the Floor

Did you see the American Idol on Wednesday night? The 62-year-old man "singing" about "pants on the ground"? Well, I've got my own little girl with Pants on the Ground and Puddles on the Floor.



I *HATE* potty training. I hate the pee down the legs and into shoes, the puddles on the floor, couch, chair. The wet underwear and wet pants. The potty seat insert, or the empty-it-yourself potty chair. I hate having one bathroom upstairs. I gag when washing out pooped-in underpants, or wiping up the poop off the floor (G-R-O-S-S!!!). Ahhh, the joys of motherhood. Does anybody else want to take over this particular chore? I'll trade....

Despite my severe aversion to potty training, I think I am at the point where I would experience puddles on the floor despite using diapers because my two-year-old is pulling diapers off. I think I will yet again have to experience the misery and frustration of teaching a child how to pee on the toilet, and not anywhere else.

Yuck.

I gave it a go this morning. I didn't loose my cool too much. We'll work on it again another time and see if she can connect the ideas together. *sigh* I would love to wait until she's 3, but I don't think she wants to wait that long... *sigh*
