Their Journey, Our Journey

Grandma (and Grandpa) is in town visiting, and our daughter pottied on her. There was no look of surprise, regret, or otherwise on her face. She has been potty trained for months, and we've come to realize that when she doesn't care to try, she won't try. Never have I seen this kind of stubbornness in a two-year old. There is almost no point to explaining, reprimanding, disciplining, etc., because this girl will simply do what she wants. Are words are less than a light breeze in effect. But upon reflection I'm certain that she inherited from me. As with anyone, I have my things I need to work on as well, but no matter what anyone may say or even against my better judgment I continue to do them. Maybe this is a wake-up call. Perhaps I need to work on my things a little more and figure out what it takes to overcome my own stubborn nature and it will help me figure out how to reach my daughter.
