Annie has had a potty since Christmas. Like most parents these days, we sometimes fall into the trap of thinking that our children are somehow super human. As if early potty training would lead her down the path to solving global hunger or figuring out why they don't make station wagons with three rows anymore. Why couldn't she learn to use the potty at 18 months old? Those elimination communication parents do it.
I bring this up, because my sister-in-law (I seem to have a lot of those) Dani comes home from New Zealand tomorrow and will be spending much of the summer with us here in Chevy Chase. She has already told me that her main goal is to potty train one, or both, of my children—mind you she also is working on her thesis. Due to Dani's imminent arrival, I have been trying to figure out why I haven't had any luck accomplishing this seemingly simple task. I have come to the conclusion that it is either my lack of wanting poop all over the house, or that Annie simply doesn't understand how to use this.


Exactly what program were you watching whose target audience requires the use of a "Comfort Wipe"?
