Potty Training Distractions

We are not really gifted at potty training in this family. I swear it's been passed down genetically since there are quite a few potty issues documented on both sides of our families. I won't go there to save the dignity of said persons. Nevertheless I had planned to potty train Cate when she was... oh maybe five. No rush here. I'm happy to clean up diapers. But Cate has older sibs and she thinks she's got this figured out. I've let walk around the house the past couple of days without a diaper and sometimes we have success and sometimes not. I think the best thing for me, a mommy with post-traumatic potty training disorder, it to not be too intense about it especially since I'm trying to get through a sinus infection AND because I'm full bore into Grace's quilt.

Eliot's quilt is nearly done but honestly I'm not that in love with it and I'm really hoping that the quilting and binding will be the thing that endears me to it. I do have to keep telling myself that it is BOY quilt and I am not a boy. Furthermore I let him choose some of the fabric which he's thrilled with, and so it's his quilt not mine. Now Grace's quilt is another story. I love it and she loves it. I highly recommend the log cabin block and I highly recommend this book .

I don't plan to butt the blocks up against each other. I plan to use a creamy sashing in between each block. Since the girls quilts will be in the same room I've used two of the same fabrics and I think the white sashing will pull it together. I'm shooting for a girl room looking something like this one. I was happy to see two different quilts side by side looking like they went together. That's the goal.



Oh!!! I almost forgot, we're potty training and while I was gabbing on about my quilts my baby somehow made it out to the swing set without any pants on.



What a ham!
