Potty Time

So Tom and I started potty training Madi about 5 weeks ago, and she's done suprisingly well with it, even when we're not at home. She has her little potty chair that she uses most of the time and she even wears pull-ups now instead of real diapers which i think help her feel more like a big girl. The only problems that we have encountered are as follows:

1:) Madi is no dummy, she knows that she can use the "I PEE PEE!" excuse at any time, and I mean ANY time. So lets say we've just had a long and exhausting night of chasing miss thang around trying to get her in the tubby, then her jammies, then sitting down on the couch for a nice cup of soy milk (baba milt) and a quick viewing of the Upside Down Show...a Madi Chase favorite. Then after that it's into the bathroom for brushing teeth, into her room for a story...we say our prayers, we tuck her in with all three close companions Bunny-Boy, Pooh, and Monkey (her Baby Brook doll will occasionally join her, it depends on the night and what Brook's already got planned) We give her x-amount of kisses and hugs, turn on her aquarium music thingy and lights off. She remembers that she misses Daddy and has to run back down the hall for one final kiss, then back into her bed right by the door mind you so that Madi can "Watch" as she likes to put it. So an hour has passed and she's finally in bed right? WRONG! as we settle into the couch for some random show we hear..."mommy, daddy...i pee pee" at first we say, yeah right she's just saying it...we wait a few more minutes then we hear "MOMMY, DADDY...I PEE PEE!" ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT...in we go she runs out to the potty takes off all her clothes (the only way madi knows how to go potty) and looks right at us with the cutest face in the world and says "NO NIGH NIGH"

You see people, this small human child of a mere 2, has grasped the importance of potty and how ape sh*t mommy and daddy go when she has to do it, and when she does do it...therefore she plays that potty card to the best of her ability...at bed time when she doesn't want to go nigh nigh. Can we blame her? the answer is no, and tom and i actually think it's pretty stinkin funny, and cute! But we're onto her now...we're onto her. But what is our other option, if we say no, too bad, she'll pee in her pants (if she genuinely has to go this time) and then she'll think that she can't go when she needs to...so here we are running in circles for the pee-pee queen. All hail the Queen!

2.) We can't seem to keep clothes on this little thing.

Clearly one of our issues is greater than the other...unless she never grows out of #2.) then i don't know what we're gonna do.

Anyhoo...i'll keep everyone updated on her potty progress...
