No, we haven't started potty training Rachel quite yet. Every week, I recieve a parenting email related to Rachel's development for her age. It's interesting to read and sometimes I pick up a tip or tidbit that is helpful or a fun game to play. But this week, an article that was highlighted on potty training in three days made me laugh out loud! As I quickly scanned the article (Rachel was upstairs "helping" me on the computer), these words popped out at me, "It's a "bare-bottomed" method, meaning that for three months after you initiate potty training, your child will need to go naked below the waist when he's at home and wear just loose-fitting pants with nothing underneath when he's out and about or at daycare." Followed by this, "If you really want this to work, it only works naked," Fellom says. "There are absolutely no pants in the house for the first three months."
Did Rachel write this article as a ploy to get her mama to let her run around naked? Streaking the house before her bath is quite possibly her favorite part of the day. I could only imagine the joy at being allowed to run around sans pants for THREE MONTHS. And if I thought whipping off her shirt at book club was a little embarrassing, I can only imagine the awesome blog stories I'd have if she thought she could go minus her pants too.
I might have to ponder this one for a bit - or at least finish reading the article.

Don't laugh! I did this with each one of my kids but goodness, not for 3 months. It only took about 3 days and a whole lotta m & m s.
