Maia has the magic touch
Oct 18th, 2005 by Accidental Thinker
My 7-year-old is succeeding where her parents have so far failed. Whether she wanted it or not, I do believe she has permanently acquired the job of potty training her brother. How many times do you think he’s actually used the potty when I’ve been in there with him? A big fat zero. I kid you not. I have literally NEVER seen him release so much as a single drop. He loves to sit there, he just doesn’t DO anything. Kent hasn’t fared much better. Funny, because I seem to remember that as a newborn, Noah no problem christening everything in reach the instant I took his diaper off.
But send Maia in there with him? Holy cow, he’s a pottying machine! I haven’t personally witnessed it, but the evidence is always there. Peer pressure? Sibling worship? Whatever it is, it’s working, and my mother always taught me not to mess with success.
Whoa! I can just hear the stories around the holiday table – spouses, kids, et al – about 30 years from now.
Maybe big sis just literally scared the poo out of him. 😉
LOL. I think my little bro was trained by my sister, now that I think on it.
Maybe there’s some kind of threatening going on.I’m just kidding.It’s working, so that’s great.
