C'mon mom

So I must admit I am sure I'm a little bit crazy. I am continuing with potty time even though it is a little much to keep up with. I'm thinking pre-toddler potty training would probably work better if I had nothing in my life distracting me from giving Audrey 100% of my focus.  However,  that is far from the case. The other day I tried to keep up with diaper free baby (as in pants only) living while hosting preschool for four kids (including Karaline, with the help of one other mom). Six pairs of pants and two carpet pee clean ups later, I realized baby potty time only works when you pay attention to your baby (duh). Then the next day while out and about she didn't even pee in her diaper, go figure.  So now Audrey is diaper rash free, and eating yogurt and bananas regularly (even the banana rash hasn't come back after eating a whole one yesterday).  Having said that I don't feel in the clear enough to start cloth again, just yet. So, w/o diaper rash in the mix it has been quite tempting to stop potty time, just because it requires so much attention simply because she's not ready to tell me when she needs to potty. The thing is every time I think of quitting I hear a story from a friend about how terrible of a time they're having training their toddler. So, that makes me think this may require a lot right now, but clean ups are way smaller then at two. One of my friends kids climbed onto the kitchen table to poop. Another friend has been attempting to potty train her almost three year old for a year. I have several other friends whose kids give huge issues about training or simply refuse to train, so I'm thinking Audrey is using the potty when I put her on it, so I will keep it up and once I can get cloth back in the mix I think that will be the best option to use while continuing potty time. Well, I have an evening to myself and two sleeping gifts so I'm going to go make the most of it, be blessed.
