When deciding whether or not I was going to take the plunge and potty train Emily, I looked at the "are they ready" lists online. Most lists mentioned that you should not do it while your child is in a "contrary phase." Well, I decided to ignore that because I fear I would have to wait a VERY long time. :)
Luckily, things have gone quite well. Emily is doing a FABULOUS job and is even waking me in the middle of the night for bathroom runs. (This does, of course, have it's drawbacks but overall it's a good thing.)
Anyway, back to the contrary discussion. The other day, just after waking from a nap, I suggested to a grumpy Emily that she might want to use the potty. She didn't agree with me and argued for a minute. In the end, she did do as I asked - she just made sure I knew that she was doing it under protest. 
Ha ha ha - boy, did she show you!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell...Emily certainly knows how to let you know how she feels!
ReplyDeleteHa! So there! ;)
ReplyDeleteI keep saying "she is so funny!" Hopefully, it won't be THIS funny at age 5!! LOL

I think the contrariness is just being a 2 year old. Great job on the potty training Em! So glad Sophia isn't waking me up in the middle of the night to go potty. Just wait until Em can hold it all night. That's the best!
ReplyDeleteShe's something else! Good job on the potty-training.
