Journey of a Big Girl


The big phases of a Toddler's life are always an exciting (and daunting) thing to experience. Isabelle has a friend at daycare (Trevor) who is 2.5 years old this month. His mom wants to start potty-training, with the realistic goal that if he's not ready, then he's just not ready, and his Mom will revisit the whole thing in a few weeks.

Since girls "tend" to potty train earlier and easier than boys, our daycare provider (Miss Trish) asked if she wanted us to start working with Isabelle at daycare since she was starting with Trevor this week anyway. Peer pressure is such a powerful influence at two-years-old. Wellllll, SURE! Trish even told us we didn't have to do anything at home just yet. She is going to include progress reports in Isabelle's backpack each day to let us know what happened that day, and she will let us know when we should start working at home in earnest.

Maybe it's time to give Miss Trish a RAISE! If our little spitfire is potty trained by late Spring/Summer, oh the joy! Wish Isabelle luck on her journey!
