OK, so Joss pulled herself up on the Little Tykes table we have upstairs, trying to get to Aidenne's juice box. When I lifted it up and out of her reach, she took her hands off the table and reached for the juice. So she was STANDING on her own for at least 4 seconds!! And she didn't fall, she just put her hands back on the table. She is so strong. Aidenne is a great big sister, motivating Joss to get up and around just like her! Aidenne doesn't really like the fact that Joss is so mobile now. She usually picks up her toys and moves to another part of the room so Joss can't play. I am not looking forward to the fights I will have to break up in the very near future.
Speaking of Aidenne, I have made it a routine to try to go potty every night before her bath (yes, this is the only time we try all day because I am extremely lazy when it comes to this potty training stuff). But last night, I told her to go potty instead of asking her if she needed to, and she did! It was just a little bit, but she was so proud of herself! If anyone has any potty training tips, please GIVE THEM TO ME because I am just clueless on how to start...I tried the "leave them naked all day" technique, but that only lasted about an hour and a half--I cannot have her peeing on the carpet! I don't have time to clean it up every 2 seconds, and I cannot have Joss crawling over carpet cleaner/pee all day. (Those are my two reasons, Ma!)

I have no potty training advice but wanted you to know that I'm in the same boat. Lazy, don't want to clean it up, and not sure how to do it. I don't want to push Jorie if she's not ready, so for now I'm just going to wait for her to bring it up (at least for a while longer).
I think when you told Aidenne instead of asking, it conveyed something less lazy. I'm thinking you need to ask a lot less if she wants to do anything - don't give her the chance to say no - give her two things to choose from instead. I'm thinking you can think of two things. ha ha. I know, I know: "stop thinking, Mom!"
muah! I just read the end of your blog. You have to know I wrote my first comment immediately when I read you begging for advice. I agree with your two reasons and reiterate my request on you giving your children two choices for everything instead of asking them if they want to do something.
