Baby Quote by Jamie Glowacki
““At this point, you should feel pretty comfortable that your child, while bare bummed, can sit and pee on the potty. Remember: it’s okay if you are still prompting. Prompting counts as success, and your child needs it. Remember, though: don’t overprompt (she says to the mom holding a knife). By now, you may have started with pants, or your child may still be butt nekkid, or you may be doing a mix of the two.””
