While we were in Boston, Tigger was introduced to potty training. Nae-Nae (Angel's grandmother) was watching the kids and on the first day informed Tigger that she was not going to change any diapers so he better get used to using the toilet like everybody else. She only had minimal problems as he was more than willing to use the toilet when he remembered to. Nae recruited Kanga to help Tigger remember to use the toilet and by the time we returned he was having good success. The problem is, that it's never as cool when it's Mom and Dad asking you to use the toilet.
It's been a little up and down this week with him, but we finally have come to understand a few things with him. He's been doing much better and it is so nice not to have to change diapers, even if we occasionally have to clean up a messed pair of underwear. Things should be stable enough that he will get it eventually. Poor Kanga had problems for quite a while, but we couldn't really blame her.
When we were trying to potty train Kanga she had it down pretty well, but then her world got flipped upside down. Tigger was born and it wasn't in the way that we had been preparing her. Suddenly she and her mom were living with my parents, her little brother was sick and she couldn't see him, and her dad would only be there for a little while. The potty training was the first thing to go. The poor girl just had all kinds of trouble. It was quite a while before she wasn't prone to wet herself at my parents. Longer than we hoped. Often she would be good everywhere else, but the shocks and difficulty she had experienced just wrecked havoc on her. She is well adjusted now and is a great help to her brother. I certainly hope that Tigger has it a little easier than her.
