Like many parents, I wasn't overly focused on potty-training my daughters until I noticed that they didn't mind soiling themselves. I started paying more attention when my 4 year old twins were still very very comfortable wearing big girl pants, and when the older of the two shrugged after her regularly occurring accidents and explained, "It's ok, mama." Something had to be done.
So I admire our very own Strollerderby daddy's potty-training saga about encouraging his 2 year old daughter to get comfortable with the little altars everywhere...
MIke's ability to relate his trip to the zoo, with potty-training, and his long-standing fear of grocery checkout lines is brilliant.
When his daughter explains to the nosey checker how Daddy wears big girl pants with monkeys on them, the moment is priceless. And if this isn't a great reason to have kids, I don't know what is.
