The new potty method

You may want to go potty before reading about this new method... especially if you have had babies and have lost important muscles.

So... David and I were at the park yesterday (the 3rd time that day) and we met a nice lady and her son Matthew. She is from Spain and her husband is here at the University. Matthew is almost 3 and the woman got very excited when I asked David if he needed to go the bathroom. She was impressed that he is a young 2 and wanted to know potty training details. I told her that we did the naked method. I told her that we first tried going right to big boy underwear, but that David didn't get the concept to keep the underwear dry so we tried the naked method next. I explained to her the method and she was looking at me like I was crazy. I tried to change the subject, but she came back to potty training again. She didn't look very convinced by the method, but was excited and said that she would try anything! Towards the end of the conversation she stopped and said, "so... it really works... you just all went naked for 2 days and he learned to go potty in the potty?" I tried very hard not to laugh and explained to her that just David was naked for 2 days, not Phillip and I. She said she thought it sounded a bit strange, but seriously had been trying for awhile and was willing to try anything! Could you imagine if we hadn't cleared that one up?

Hmmm...I'll try anything as well. Abbie would love it if I would run around naked with her. Afterall, she loves being naked!
I talked to the doctor yesterday about her potty training, or lack thereof. He told me to forget about it so I think I'll take his advice...for now anyway.

I think that Phil would have loved it the most!
