Something like childbirth, I had forgotten how painstakingly time consuming potty training was.
Here is a guide to my potty training day in a nutshell:
Green = underwear changes
Blue = failed potty attempts
Red = successful potty visits
Note 1: All potty attempts were prompted by Mo, not me.
Note 2: I've added uber cute pictures of the girl to keep a smile on my face.

awesome post!
and yes, i am glad that i don't have to go through potty training again!
Great post and cute pics! Brings back memories or nightmares in my case. Potty training was not my favorite. I found what worked for my kids - giving them control and having them tell me when they needed to go instead of me telling them to try/go.
