Several weeks ago, Everleigh began asking to use the potty. Both Mike and I responded with "NOOOOO." It seems Ev may be ready to potty-train, but her parents are not prepared to do their part. Fortunately, we have help this time around. So we took her to sit on the potty several times a day while Kyrie was at her grandparents but we were slow and unenthusiastic and she didn't have success.
This weekend, I brought the second little seat out of storage and set it up. And yesterday, she told us she had to use the potty and Kyri and I helped her and she had immediate results. There was much clapping and cheering. Today, she got up and took off her diaper and used it herself. So I pulled out the new underwear and Kyrie is taking the direct supervising role while I nervously wait to help and handle cleanup duty.
There is nothing that terrifies and exhausts me as much as potty training. And while it all appears hopeful at this state, I have this sinking suspicion that my hopes will be crushed. Fortunately, I have a happy helper who thinks potty training is FUN. More power to her.

Olivia is acting like she is ready to potty train too and I'm having the same reaction :-)
