My Girl Wants to Potty All the Time

 
There once was a girl named Buttons who had a friend named T. who had a potty in her house where she could go and pee. Everytime that T. went pee, Buttons was sure to go. But as Buttons sat down on the pot, alas there was no flow.

Button's mama thought "you're much too young for a potty", but then Buttons would point to her diaper and tell mama about the functions of her body. "Diaper", "stinky" and "poo poo" were the words she used to describe it, so her mama went onthe internet for education and to buy a yellow "pit".

This rhyming post has been such fun,
But I'm not that good and so I'm done.

Ok, so I know 21 months is a bit young to start the big training, but when did you start, how did you know the time was right and what method and/or books did you use? Also, I'm just at the beginning of this process but already I'm wondering how long should I expect this to be a topic of discussion with my hubby and with other parents? My hubby and I were kind of excited that we were no longer in the stage of describing every bowel movement. Although, I'm sure we will have many fun stories to go along with the potty training.

This is actually my second draft of this post because my first one is out there in the ether somewhere. Oh well, that one had no rhyming whatsoever. And yes, I know this title is cheesy, but it made you laugh or groan. My job is done.

Update on previous post: Buttons has napped a little better over the past few days and my secret is having a book in her room for me to read when she just needs a calming presence in order to fall asleep. Bonus? I'm getting caught up on my reading. Downside? Housework is suffering. Long-term benefits? Unsure, but hopefully a daughter who knows I'm there for her and will eventually sleep with confidence.
