Mom. Potty!

Torah is obsessed with the potty.  NO, she is NOT potty training.  The last thing I want to deal with right now is a toddler's thimble-sized bladder.  Ugh.  I hate having to look for a toilet every 5 minutes whenever we go anywhere.   I am a huge advocate of waiting to potty train.  I like to wait until they are basically old enough to just "train" themselves.

But even though I am actively discouraging Torah from using the potty, she still BEGS for it constantly.  The other afternoon went something like this:

"Mom!"
"What?"
"Potty."

Ignore.

"Mom!  Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom mom mom mom mom."
"What!?!"
"Potty."
"No."

"Mom mom mom.  Potty.  Mom!  Potty!  Mom!!  Potty!!"

I was desperately trying to get dinner made before I had to rush the boys off to soccer, so I said Fine and stuck her on the potty.  I figured it would at least keep her out of my way while I cooked.

Looks like we'll need to keep the plunger handy when she actually does decide to potty train.

Oh, I am with you on this one. I do NOT want to potty train. I can't stand the thought of looking and then paying for a toilet whenever she yells. Do you think that 4 is too old? Maybe I'll just teach her how to change her own diaper.
