Potty Training - Part 1

Ok, I just spent 3 days trying to potty train Jasmine. I thought that we'd give it a try now since she's already 2 and we have a few days at home to spend with her. Jasmine kinda knows when she pees and poops. Her signal to us that she wants to poop is "she stands on her tippie toes". It's kinda cute, because when she stands on her toes, that means she's going to take dump!

We've put Jasmine in underwear (no diaper) during the day and showed her what to do when she needs to go peepee or poopoo. She loves watching her doll, Upsy Daisy, go peepee and cheers her on. But our efforts have proved to be a failure. Jasmine absolutely hates the potty, and she doesn't care if she has stuff dripping down her leg. She's probably just not ready and would rather play with all her toys, being as energetic as she.

So back to square one - Jasmine back in diapers for now. I guess we'll give it another try when I am on mat leave, after Baby#2 comes along. I'll have 12 months at home to train her.
