A Pot to Pee In

I think that I should probably be trying the potty training thing with my daughter about now. It seems as though friends of mine have trained their little ones who are my daughter's age but also some who have younger kids are contemplating starting. At my daughter's school, she goes to the potty when the other kids take a visit there. Sometimes, she takes off her diaper and sits on the potty.

I really don't think she has gotten what really happens in the bathroom. Like most kids, she likes to unravel the toilet paper and put it in the toilet and watch it when she flushes. But does not seem to understand that you have to "produce" potty. THIS is why I do not think she is ready for potty training-- ok maybe I am a little lazy too. But I really think that she needs to understand the concept or what you do in the bathroom before we start trying. I mean if she does not understand that potty comes from inside you, then how can she be trained??

She has learned how to pull her pants up and down and take off her diaper. Which is good most of the time, not so good when she is supposed to be napping.

Maybe part of this is me being an older parent. I really don't feel like pressuring her to become potty trained right away. I figure she will do it when she is ready. And when she is ready to do it, it will happen almost overnight! I see too many people say their kid is potty trained and they have "accidents" all the time- to me that is not potty trained.

So I don't really feel pressured to potty train my 32 month old daughter. Like everyone says, she won't get married wearing a diaper, right?
