My mom is a confusing woman. She got me all excited about going pee-pee in the potty, but she forgot to tell me how to let it go. In my diaper it is easy, I just stand up, find some privacy and do my business. In the potty though, it's just different.
I'm a really determined kid though. I mean, come on, I held my pee for 20 hours...that's determination. I didn't hold it because I didn't want to go in the potty, I was just trying to figure it all out. Then my mom goes and confuses me more. She puts a diaper back on me and is in tears begging me to go in my diaper. I don't know what she's up to. One minute she is giving me candy to go in the potty and the next she's crying for me to go in my diaper. She even took me to the doctor TWICE, where they pushed on my tummy and stuff. Anyways, I told her, "NO DIAPER, I want toilet." And she listened....well kind of. She just let me run around naked before my second doctor's appointment (yesterday), and guess what I did? I WENT PEE-PEE IN THE POTTY!...and no one even noticed. I mean they checked, but I kept trying and couldn't get it to happen. I snuck in there when my mom went to grab my clothes and then I faked her out by hurrying back to the table to eat my breakfast. Sneaky, huh?
Anyways, I went to another doctors appointment where they talked about putting a tube in me if I didn't pee by 4pm. Silly mom, she didn't realize I had already peed. We came home where she put me down for a nap and then she FINALLY saw my pee. She made a big deal about it when I woke up.
Last night I ran around naked again, and guess what? I went pee in the potty AGAIN! I got a bunch of candy AND we went to Target to get a new Mickey movie (and a new puzzle...I guess mom felt guilty for being so confusing). Well this morning, I went again. I got a Minnie coloring book that came with stickers. I'm SOOOO OVER the diaper thing. It still takes me about 20 mad dashes to the potty to finally get the job done, but I'm a big girl now!
Maybe my mom will grow up one day and stop being such a worry wart!

Ah, what a great end to an stressful start! Yay for Aubrey!
She is quite the determined little girl. I appreciate the phone calls about pee-peeing in the potty. Uncle Kurt likes them more than I do. He is a proud little uncle. :)

Dear Aubrey:
You ARE a big girl now! And a smart little girl to get this whole potty thing figured out despite some confusing direction. Oh, and the part about your mom being a worry wart? Get used to that cause that's just what moms do. It's because we love our children so much. It's our job. Forever.
I'm telling you Barbie, these kiddos have a mind of their own!! But yea for Aubrey and for her mommy...
oh Aubrey!!! We are SO proud of you up here in Fresno!! Way to GO! Barbie! I am seriously thrilled for you. Thrilled and relieved, and impressed. What a milestone!
Yippee! That is so great! Barbie you did such a breat job! I am so proud of you, and I am freaked out about that phase of parenting! I loved your story though! =)
haha, glad it all worked out and sounds like you both survived! Congrats to you both! : )
Yeah, Aubrey! I'm worried about potty training... as much as I hate diapers (especially those poopie ones...) I keep hearing horror stories of how hard it is to potty train boys. I'm sure I'll be seeking your advice! :)
