Subject: Re: [blparent] Potty training and eating by herself.
I told Angelica she couldn't go to school until she could go potty on her
own. Back in December, she asked to sleep in her underwear. My husband
wasn't too keen on that, but i thought she should be giben a chance to try,
and we didn't go back to pull-ups, although someone suggested it when she
was having accidents.
