It's time again for Not Me! Monday.
MckMama's wonderful idea of telling exactly what we would never do.
She puts it best by saying..
"Are you feeling guilty for not changing your children's bedsheets for weeks on end? Overcome with embarrassment after your child wets his pants in public? We'll don't be! Not Me! Monday was born out of my desire to admit some of my imperfections and reveal a few moments I'd rather forget. You may find it therapeutic to join in and do the same thing!"
Head over to her blog to read her "Not Me! Monday" post but only after reading mine first.
Last week was a busy week. Lots going on, especially in the world of potty-training our less than 5 months shy of being a 3 year old little princess. We are trying so hard with her and I know she is more than smart enough to have been potty trained months ago, but she is also very strong willed. She loves wearing her big girl panties but not so much the idea of telling her mommy and daddy when she has to potty. As a result, we have to have a mental note of when to drag her to the potty every 15 minutes or so to avoid accidents. Speaking of accidents...when my mom brought Lily by my desk to visit at work, after asking Lily if she needed to potty and getting a "no", I would never then have to run to the breakroom to get paper towels to clean up my wet (plastic, thank goodness) chair mat. I would never let Lily do this..by not taking her anyways to the potty when she said "no." "No" always means "I'm too busy to go potty, mommy."
Speaking of wet subjects, I would never hop in the pool with Lily full dressed (twice) after she pleaded with me to get in. I always have on my bathing suit. I also did not venture outside to clean our pool in my night gown a couple of nights ago reasoning that even though we live on a busy road with neighbors, it was almost dark and surely no one would see me;)
That's probably enough N0t Me's! for one week even though there's lots more..
I'm excited about something special coming up at the end of this week. My wonderful husband and I are celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary on Friday! Watch for a special post dedicated to him!

That Lily is a doll! My daughter was passed 2 and 1/2 before she was potty trained. She didn't want to take the time either. I tried videos, stickers, m&ms,etc. It didn't help. I could get her to go after nap or first waking up in the morning, but otherwise it just wasn't clicking. I finally just said "Look I am leaving your potty out. When you need to go potty, here it is." And she used it. I was so happy!I guess she wanted to be the boss.
