Toilets or Diapers. . .
So, I'm not sure a potty-trained kid is all it's cracked up to be. I resisted potty training Jaida, but got enough pressure I finally gave in. I've already posted about the initial potty training, and for a while she's done quite well. But in the last few months she seems to be having more frequent "accidents". I can understand when she's playing and gets busy and forgets. . .you're bound to have a few here and there. But her "accidents" (and yes, those are in quotations for a reason) generally tend to happen on the bathroom floor, directly in front of the toilet. Madening. That has happened 4 or 5 times and she continued to use the excuse "I didn't hurry. . . .sorry!" Then one time I came in and she was sitting ON the toilet, but her levis were on. . .she peed right through them. When I gave her the "What the hell?" (sorry for the language, but what the heck just doesn't cut it here) look she again said. . ."Sorry, I didn't hurry." So this last time (yesterday) I walked into the bathroom to find her completely naked, climbing off the counter where she had just finished peeing in the sink. Seriously?!! I had absolutely no response or comment for that one. She did a clean pee (no spills anywhere) and her clothes were still clean so what do you do? In fact, I still smile when I think about it because it's so outrageous. And she just looked at me so matter-of-factly. . ."I just peed in the sink, mom." And I'm laughing when I type it. So now I wonder if diapers were really that bad. :)

Okay Lindsay--- Your kids are a total crack-up! Thanks for a good laugh! Hang in there! See you Monday! :)
I completely understand the swearing thing - sometimes it just comes out - but now my kids are old enough to say "mom that's a swear word" and make me feel really guilty. Your kids are hilarious - I love reading about them, I always laugh!
The "what the hell" look is no where near as effective as the "what the hell" voice, but then you already know that.
Ha ha, I love the fact that Jaida makes you're life so complicated. It's really quite enjoyable reading all the things she does to you.
