1. She knows when her diaper is soiled and requests to have it changed.
2. She starts imitating adult grooming behavior, e.g. applies deodorant to her stomach.
3. She insists on wearing her brother’s Thomas the Tank Engine underpants, despite the fact that they’re two sizes too big for her.
4. She will not wear just any diaper, but only diapers with Winnie the Pooh on them. And not just any old diaper with Winnie the Pooh on it. It must be the diaper with Winnie the Pooh hanging from a red balloon, with Tigger riding a tire swing on the back. The diaper with Eeyore on it is so last week.
Oh, honey. I just don’t think so.

I wouldn’t want a donkey on my butt either. Wait, is that the same as an “ass on the ass?”

Hahahaha! Jody, that was funny.
Toilet training. So much fun, isn’t it?

Starting potty training (ahem .. again) on Monday. And I agree with Jody, the whole donkey on the butt thing is humiliating.

Oh, we did the whole specific diaper picture thing, too (or rather, one of our kids tried to do that). I’m feelin’ for you.
But let’s put aside the potty-training thing for a moment. Is she weaned yet? Which one is the priority because surely you can’t do both at once!
