We are in the midst of potty training Laney. It's not going well. Here is a sample of tonight's attempt:
Me: Good night Laney. Love you.
Laney: I need to go potty.
Me: [knowing nothing is going to happen and she's just trying to prolong bedtime, but then what if she really does need to go and this is our big breakthrough and I miss it by ignoring her request...] OK! Let's go potty.
[We head to the bathroom sans diaper. First she sits on the big potty.]
Laney: I going potty!
.............
(nothing is happening)
Laney: I go on little potty!
[We switch to the little potty]
Laney: I tan do it!
[she's not doing it]
Me: You can do it!
Laney: [yells loud to Jason] Daddy I going potty!
Jason: [yells from the kitchen] Yay Laney! You can do it!
[She's still not doing it]
Laney: Mommy, I talking on the potty! You have a beard?
Me: No, I don't have a beard. Stop talking and go potty. YOU CAN DO IT!
Laney: O-tay. Oh, no beard, mommy? You have legs?
Me: Yes, I have legs. Please go potty.
Laney: O-tay. I love potty. I taste the potty?
Me: NO! Never taste the potty. The potty is dirty!
Laney: [sticks her hand in the potty and then her mouth before I can stop her and exclaims:
B-icious!
(Luckily she's on the little potty; there is nothing in it and it's relatively clean, but still...ewwww)
We wash her hands and that's that.

Oh, wow. Fun!
Oh, I can totally relate! Although none of mine ever wanted to taste the potty!
That's great, I'm still laughing!
Laney is great entertainment. I can hardly wait to get my hands on the girls this weekend! I love you all. By the way Jen, that video was awesome, thanks.
