Ups and Downs

I have begun the mission of potty training Katelyn. She has finally reached a point in communicating with us that I know she is capable of telling me what her wants and needs are...the only problem is her stubborness. We are only on day 1 and I know it a long haul at 22 months (alyssa was potty trained by the time she was 2-so I have an idea of what I have gotten myself into), but so worth it. We have to be completely potty trained by Memorial Day in order for her to go into the "big pool" in our neighborhood. This is a huge deal for me since Alyssa is already in the big pool and it is impossible for me to be in two places at once. So the frustrations of potty training and all that rigamaroll that goes with it begins. I just hope I can find the sticktuitiveness to see this through to the end. I am known to give in to Katie's stubborness much more than I ever did Alyssa's. Imagine that!
