I know potty training is one of the most difficult rights of passage for a parent! But Gracie takes the cake. She's shown all the signs of being "ready".
Gracie will pull her diaper off dry or wet walk over to the potty, sit on it and do nothing. She'll get up after a few minutes and run away. If we try to put her back on she howls and howls.
If we let her go around bare bottom she'll hold it for hours. As soon as I put on a diaper or panties she goes. I've tried putting the diaper in the potty no go. The child is as stubborn as a mule.
The other day she was sitting on the potty and daddy called when I gave the phone to her she got so excited she started to tinkle, she immediately tried to get up. I had to hold her down on the potty. She tried to stop the flow by holding her legs tight and arching her back but it was already coming full force. When she finished she got up and looked at me like she was so pissed off, literally.
