The Fine Art of Procrastination

On Wednesday, April 4, 2012, K went pee pee in the potty for the very first time! We were overjoyed, danced, sang, and gave lots of hugs and kisses! And lots of bunnies (she gets organic bunny fruit snacks, her very favorite treat, if she goes pee pee in the potty and my ploy finally worked!).

Since that time, each night, we have to sit on the potty for as much as an hour while she tries to go. We read books. We sing songs. We try to convince her to take a bath and try again later. She just says "Potty again." While I know she is excited to go potty, it has become clear that her motive is to avoid her bath and bedtime (or at least delay them significantly), rather than to wear her big girl undies. I indulge her in furtherance of my quest to be diaper-free.
