Captains log..

Well it's really potty training log. Not everything but some of the notable highlights. Here goes:


July 25, 2009
Change into big girl panties right after breakfast. Met with some resistance but over all excited. Mother and Father somewhat tired after night of wrangling babies, but proceed with hopes high.

9:01 Big accident. Need some "Resolve." All parties changed and clean.

9:10 Daughter asked to go potty. Met with big resistance "NO!!!!" "Noooaaawwwaooooooo"

10:03 Accident involving code brown. And crying lots of crying. Mother recovered after her crying episode with sugar and a shot of Coke. Father continued to wrestle babies who are going through a growth spurt.

11:27 The flood of '09 Good thing we have laminate in some places in our house.

Nap time: "Nap time" panties put on and remain dry for entire nap time. Captain's hopes return again.

4:45 Asked to go potty and " The cup incident" will go down as a heroic attempt by parents to remain calm in the face of difficult 2 year old adversary.

7:03 bed time (Parents give up and put daughter to bed early.)
