Ya can't get peace and quiet, especially when in the can.<br /><br />My (now 8 year old) daughter would let fly twice EVERY diaper change. The nurses in the hospital (day two) weren't pleased with me when after telling me she was soiled, I would turn around to them and say 'give it a few minutes, she's not done yet'... and sure enough explosion number 2 would happen... I'd raise an eyebrow and say 'Now I'll change her'. <br />I think I saved a few dozen tonns of landfill by doing it that way.<br />She was a breeze to night time toilet train. <br />I was sick that night and Hubby forgot to put her in the night time diaper. We thought we were being robbed but it was just the kiddo heading to the loo. Talk about cake walk. Good luck!<br />Belinda in Brisbane AustraliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8117339092748057578.post-57062122710872777532010-07-05T21:48:46.263-05:002010-07-05T21:48:46.263-05:00My hint was when he was taking off his diaper and ...My hint was when he was taking off his diaper and wiping it everywhere.

We have sheltered our OLDEST from a lot of sisterly responsibility since there was such an age difference between child 1 and Child 2 (7 years). But things are about to change.

Although, come to think of it, I may have potty trained my sixth one by saying stuff like, "Change your sister's diaper for me. I'm busy." And I may have possibly promised my teens a new Ferrari for doing that, but I'm sure they've forgotten about it by now. I hope.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00465587872521082056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8117339092748057578.post-49540928398783962522010-07-03T13:09:21.467-05:002010-07-03T13:09:21.467-05:00I promise you, I am laughing WITH you.

The last time he visited Vegas was at a public playground. I turned away from a second and he was gone. I found him behind a slide with a look of concentration on his face that could mean only one thing.<br /><br />He's almost 15. He still remembers. I make sure he does. ;-Dlisahgoldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158660223296807317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8117339092748057578.post-39642259290714647522010-07-03T10:53:56.242-05:002010-07-03T10:53:56.242-05:00@Homemaker Man - Thanks man.

Sitting her down between the first diaper off and new diaper on. I will have to figure out what to do with the 4-year old since the little one gets mad when the 4-year old gets to do something she can't do.<br /><br />@SandyAnnDee - I can't wait for this to be over as well. This is the 3rd and FINAL time! Woo Hoo!<br /><br />@Glen - LOL! Those are the moments to remember.<br /><br />@Melissa - I appreciate you offering to potty train our little one. Oh, wait... That's not what your comment was about. Oh, well... Just wishful thinking.<br /><br />@BellaDaddy - You would be correct, sir. If she's like our middle child, that stage won't last long. The only problem is that she is NOTHING like our middle child. So *ahem* my wife might be in some trouble.<br /><br />@Missy - HA! Right on the carpet? Now that's funny! Lesson learned, indeed.<br /><br />@Aurora - I guess having all girls means I don't have to worry about that last part. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986167130467258392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8117339092748057578.post-19394766349012278402010-07-03T07:33:04.070-05:002010-07-03T07:33:04.070-05:00Lola's 2 1/2 and we haven't started yet.

Dun-dun-dun.<br /><br />Actually, SHE started. By walking in on me every. single. time. I was in my Mommy ALONENESS Room and plopping her fully diapered bottom onto the closed potty chair next to me. Then her little forehead screwed up, and her face turned colors. "I potty, Mommy! I potty!"<br /><br />After several of these occurrances, I got the grand idea that she may be ready to potty train. The next time she barged in on me and attempted to climb onto the potty chair, I quickly removed her diaper and lifted her onto it. We pottied in tandem. (Sorry.) <br /><br />I thought it was a brilliant idea! Effortless potty-training. I congratulated myself on my geniusness.<br /><br />Until she got up and walked away diaperless while I remained in my seat unable to follow.<br /><br />She did the deed on the carpeting in the other room.<br /><br />Lesson learned. <br /><br />I think she's training me.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01436000954617741702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8117339092748057578.post-76198172857107251092010-07-02T11:29:44.940-05:002010-07-02T11:29:44.940-05:00And once you get past the training phase, the wipi...And once you get past the training phase, the wiping phase is not much easier LOL<br /><br />Happy 4th!BellaDaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12469029319230742802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8117339092748057578.post-4983538570721849312010-07-02T10:46:09.729-05:002010-07-02T10:46:09.729-05:00Oooh, you dont scare the kidless.

Some of us have baby siblings that refused to diaper their baby brother and any baby that wasnt their own and were totally unprepared when they had kids. Some of us (ok, maybe its just me), had to TEACH them how to change diapers when the siblings had babies (I consider my brother in law plain ole brother since he has been around since the baby brother was really a baby, we are not from WV)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08087323964849168183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8117339092748057578.post-51922667978143221922010-07-02T08:50:58.986-05:002010-07-02T08:50:58.986-05:00Ah the joy of relaxing in the shower while you chi...Ah the joy of relaxing in the shower while you child walks in, waves and then sits down to start the biggest 'number 2' in the world - lovelyGlenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562111165943505509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8117339092748057578.post-70357905921946867642010-07-02T08:29:34.895-05:002010-07-02T08:29:34.895-05:00Oh so glad those days are gone here.

You may try not changing her wet diaper until you have the other kids situated for the morning and then take off the wet one and sit her straight on the potty with the bribe of her favorite treat to keep her busy while she sits for a while. Sing songs, tell stories, do anything to keep her sitting there. Bring a pillow for you to sit on and know that you will be crippled with back pain by the time she's successful.WeaselMommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01695797746467444304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8117339092748057578.post-76292207068793264522010-07-02T06:52:01.421-05:002010-07-02T06:52:01.421-05:00Good luck!
