Our son was born in 2007. Just as we were starting to get him used to using the potty. We thought we wouldn’t have to buy anymore diapers for a while, then Jasmine came along. And just when we started to see the light at the end of the tunnel with having to provide Jasmine with diapers she has baby sister on the way. We just can’t seem to get out of buying diapers.
Jasmine's big brother is learning responsibility with his new puppy. He's learning to feed it and take it outside to go potty. For some reason Jasmine picked it on this and is now potty training herself. As crazy as that sounds it only gets crazier. When she initially learned that Spike, her brother's puppy, was going outside to handle his business she wanted to go do her business out there too.
Through her mom's persistence Jasmine learned that puppies may go outside but big girls use the potty. So now she tells us when she feels like she has to go. Jasmine doesn't bother asking for help when she's done. Like the big girl that she thinks she is, she simply hops off, pulls her pants up (usually forgetting to pull her diaper up with them), flushes and goes about her day.
It's both weird and funny that Jasmine has been reluctant to even try using the potty until Spike came along. But that's just Jasmine, unique and independent.
