Am I really bad at potty training? Or is it my children? Are they just too obstinate to do things my way and on my time schedule? (I don't know where they could have gotten a trait like that.) Or is it everyone else? Do other people expect their "fully potty-trained" children to have accidents regularly for the next year after becoming "fully potty-trained"? Have I somewhere missed that this is the true definition? Just wondering.
And...
Cora had her first haircut today. Thanks to herself. No pictures yet. I think it's hide-able, so I'm probably not going to do much about it.

David has been potty trained since August or September, and sometimes he'll still get too busy and wait a little too long to make that mad dash for the bathroom . . . I find myself reminding him to go. I wouldn't say he has accidents regularly, though, but it does happen once in a while.
And ya gotta love it when little girls cut their hair . . . it seems like every little girl has got to try it at some point! Let's just hope she doesn't get obsessed with it like my Emily did . . .
i think it depends on the child... but for the most part, an accident here or there isn't too unusual. Lindzi will have an accident on occasion... but nothing regular either. I'm sure it's not you.... potty training is a very difficult thing. As for the hair cutting i think most if not all of my kids have done that at least once!! At least it's hideable that's a plus!
i think that every kid is different. I waited til Yazee was totally wanting to do it (2 1/2) & then I did Potty Training Bootcamp. (At least, that's what I called it.) I went cold turkey on the diapers and stayed in the house for 3 days straight. it took her 2 1/2 days to fully get it. She has only had maybe 1 accident since then but I haven't had the best luck with talia. She is "potty-trained" but I did it different with her. I tried to stay home but I started her around Thanksgiving and she did great. She had a couple accidents but becuase it was such a busy time of year, we were going to many places that I gave into pull-ups (worst decision ever! I never wanted to use them but my Hubby convinced me.). Now, she is so hit or miss.
Anyway, don't be too hard on yourself or them. They'll get it. Accidents happen. :)
