Potty training Kate

I've begun potty training kate yesterday. She did absolutely fantastic. She tried to make it to the potty every single time (not always successful) but she tried to go when she felt the urge to go. I think now it's just a matter of practice and time before accidents are gone. Later in the day, I had her back in pull-ups because I needed to get some things done around the house. But she's on the road to success.

i didn't realize just how impatient of a person i am. was it today or yesterday i gave ellie some words of advice, told her if she doesn't learn to adapt, she's going to have a difficult time in this world. now that i read it back to myself, it doesn't really sound like advice, does it? more like a warning or prophecy. anyways, i should take up that "advice" as well.

wait wait wait. i always tell the girls to wait. i want to teach them the virtue of patience. don't want to raise instant gratification kids. i don't know why waiting is so stressful upon me. i want the bugs gone now...i want my car back now...i want my bathroom ready now...i want the baby out now. i'm just tired of waiting.
