Whom I love with all the fiber in my being (divided, of course, by three so that I can love each girl with equal parts of all of the fiber in my being). For those of you who aren't up to speed on my
Really, I can't complain much about Trin. She is awesome as far as toddlers go. She plays by herself and can keep herself entertained for hours at a time. She is incredibly sweet, often running up and hugging you for no other reason than she felt like it. When she says "Eye Wuvb uuu Maw Maw", it just melts my heart into a giant puddle of goo on the floor.

Anyway, both of her sisters were potty trained by 18months. Of course, I was home with them so they didn't go to day care. Trin is not potty trained, at all. I bought her a potty for her birthday last year. One of those cool potties that sings or some shit when you pee in it. She played with it for ten minutes and then peed in her panties in my room. This process was repeated for the next six months. My daughter has not, not even once, peed or pooped in her potty. The time has come.
She has started to take her diaper off on her own at rather inopportune times no less. Like in the middle of the night or at the table. She will then walk up to you, naked from the waste down, and say "dye-pew". Well, yesterday, for the first time, she came in and said "dye-pew", but she was holding a pair of her Blue's Clues panties! So, this weekend, we start the potty training! Wish us luck!
