That's Good Advice!

I have been trying to begin potty training G and D. It's such a challenge. Patience is just not my strong suit.

A couple of weeks ago, a wonderfully, blissfully ignorant (childless) friend was going to have her three year old niece overnight, actually for an entire weekend. Her niece is also in the process of potty training. Said friend told me she was a bit worried about the situation because her niece is so strong willed and isn't a fan of the potty training thing. Since she asked for advice, I offered helpful tips -- along the lines of “POTTY TRAINING IS SO HARD! GIVING A TODDLER CONTROL OF ANYTHING IS A NIGHTMARE!”

Friend was very encouraged. I think I’ll put that pep talk on DVD and make millions.
