I think most parents can agree that one of the things we look least forward to in raising our children is the potty-training. I'm referring to the challenge of it, not the actual fruits of our labors - certainly no longer changing diapers is a blessing.
This morning, Nathan and Alex were creating with paper and crayons. Alex was making more books, and Nathan... Nathan made a potty for Amy. Yes, that is not a typo. Using scissors and paper, he made her a potty seat. And this afternoon, he was explaining to her how to use it. I did have to step in and stop him from actually helping her pull her pants down so she could try it out. But hey - maybe I should just let him teach her. Is 21 months old too young to learn? When it comes to Amy, I'm starting to think it's not. But maybe a 3-1/2 year old who still has the occasional accident isn't the right person to do the teaching...

Very funny! I could only imagine the mess you might find if she actually did test it out.
Nicholas is quickly approaching that 3 year old mark (2 more months) and shows no signs of potty readiness. He wants nothing to do with it. He may be 3 or 4 or 5 before he finally commits to living the diaper free life, but I'm in no hurry, and neither is he.
Good luck if you decide to go for it with Amy. Katie was barely over 2 when she was done. Girls really are easier.
