Sweetie Member Registered: 06/05/11 Posts: 669	Originally Posted By: Lovemydd DD3.9 was not potty trained for #2 up until 2 weeks ago. Naturally, I was panicking and tried every trick in the book to no avail. Then 2 weeks ago I just said to her," do you know that you are hurting the earth when you poop in the diaper because it ends up in the landfill. But when you poop in the potty, it goes to a wwtp ( her favorite place, btw) where it turns into fertilizer." That's all it took! Today, while doing her business on the potty, she said," mom, I love helping planet earth and keeping it blue and green. Remember how I used to talk about moving to moon or Neptune? I don't have those feelings anymore." Lol! Better than my last resort which was M&Ms. _________________________ ...reading is pleasure, not just something teachers make you do in school.~B. Cleary

aquinas Member Registered: 11/02/12 Posts: 2513	DS21mo was pretending to make Grandpa tea yesterday: Grandpa-- What flavour of tea are you making? DS (Pauses thoughtfully, then pretend sips)-- Hmmm, it's very delicate. He's also taken to referring to the neighbour's incessantly barking dog as the "poorly trained dog." No other (occasionally) barking dog is given that epithet. _________________________ What is to give light must endure burning.

Mana Member Registered: 12/17/12 Posts: 882	DD 3.1's declaration today: "I've had enough of preschool already (she started two months ago). I need to learn to write now Mommy. It's time for me to start Kindergarten. I need to finish school quickly so that I can do ballet." Right. You're three, after all. It's high time you picked a career and planned out your training schedule.
