Please stop taking off your diaper and wearing other people's underwear. I know you're ready but I need a little more prep time. Please consider waiting for at least two more weeks to potty train.
Love,
MOM

that is hysterical...Potty training is so much FUN!!
Is he close to 3? You know, it was WAY easier for me to train Tyler than Emma (she was just barely 2). Tyler was almost 3 and he took it seriously. I use a potty chair for the first few weeks so I can have it any room I want (I know, gross). The very first thing I do is fill them up with liquid so that first day they get used to the feeling and needing to go a lot. Then I pretty much eliminate liquids. :) Tyler was awesome - he had a few accidents but not many, and in about a week we were completely done. We even ventured out of the house the 2nd day, but just for about a half hour. Good luck!!!
Potty training is definitely something that parents have to be ready for also, not just the kids. Especially when you've been through it before and know how much energy it takes. Good luck!
How funny!!!!! Hope you can meet in the middle and get down to business when you're both ready. I've been thinking about this with Little Miss Sunshine and I'm not ready. I've toilet trained so many of my students, but I'm petrified to do it with my own!
I laughed when I read this post. I can so relate to your feelings! It is so nice when the kids are DONE with potty training, but the road to get there is sometimes so hard! I love your blog Jamie, you have such great insights! Cute Grant, I miss seeing him every week with his "silky". I loved those nursery kids. So cute and each one (although so small) had their own personality and were truly their own person. Great times! Renee
This is hilarious..I am so with you! I'd rather deal with the diaper somedays..maybe the 4th just mentally pushes our sanity. Kate is good now, but it was a struggle!
Jamie!! I check your blog a few times every week. I miss hearing about your life and your family! Have you fallen off the face of the earth????? You are missed! Renee
This blog is called JUNE CLEAVER only because I had intended to devote all my thoughts to home efficiency. Clearly, home efficiency is less often on the forefront of my mind than other topics. Perhaps 2009 will bring about more home efficient thoughts.
President and CFO
Carl, also known as Carlito, Carlos and Carly, is the president of Cleaver Productions. A very talented man, he spends his spare time acting as General to our cleaning troop, thinking up whopper at-home vacations and playing any game set before him with a promise to ignore everything else going on in the plant. He has skills in barbecuing and other culinary arts and has added to his impressive resume an invitation to golf with an 80-year-old professional lady golfer.
Model #1
Jordan
Model #1 is in his 12th year. This model works very efficiently and rarely makes exuses about why he can't get the job done. He does however, when questioned, often say he never heard anyone talking to him. Hmmm.
Fuel Source--lasagna, playing football, riding scooter.
Model #2
Katie
Model #2 at ten years old, is quite the creation. Her emotional database has exceeded the producers plans. We see more excitement, sadness and love from her than from all other models combined. Very friendly, she is easily able to make friends and has quickly adapted to this new culture. Another oddity of this model is the question she frequently asks, "can I go to bed now."
Fuel Source: being with at least one other person AT ALL TIMES
Model #3
Alex
Model #3 is 8 years old. His highly programmed math and reading data bases continually puzzle his producers. Besides fighting, he also enjoys riding his scooter and giggling.
Fuel Source: projects of any kind, lullabies, answering multiplication questions.
Model #4
Grant
This is by far our busiest model. As indicated in his first year of life producers thought they had programmed this model to relax, be pleasant and quietly observe life. Not so, the only thing he seems to be programmed with is GO. Though not programmed with this ability, his loving associate models have taught him the art of fighting. He seems to have exceeded their expectations.

Jamie, I love your mothering blog. You are such an inspiration to me. I hope that I can continue to learn and grow from wonderful women like you.

Too funny! It is a goal we want so badly for our kids but on our terms- not theirs! Good luck!
