This week we have been focusing on teaching Leah to go on the potty. I don't care how many children you have potty trained, each child is different and it is like doing it for the first time.
I have almost been looking forward to training Leah in this area because I heard that girls are easier than boys are. I honestly don't know how Joshua and Samuel learned how to consistently go on the potty. It just seemed that over time they started doing it. I remember struggling with them on getting them to do it and then I gave up. Eventually, after a very long time, they just did it. How did that happen?
With the Lord's help, things seem to be a little different with our little "princess pee". Fortunately, it is very motivating for her when I sing with her after she goes on the potty...and she really loves "big girl" underware. I have recently picked up a book called, Potty Training In A Day- by (will be added later). So far there is some great information about the whole topic. There are some wonderful quotes from "Grandma says..." and some great facts about the history of potty training. I am not training Leah in a day, but I am enjoying every precious moment of running to the potty and assisting her during this intimate part of her life.
Lord, help me to be patient as I watch my children grow. Help me to cherish every moment of their growth and to be thankful for their presence in my life. Give me the strength that I need each day as I go about Your will for our lives. In Jesus' name, Amen.
