Potty Training AKA Running Around Naked Until a Mess is Made

So Harper has decided this is a good time to throw a wrench in our otherwise calm life by dabbling in potty training.  This is something I had hoped would happen before Kai was born so that we wouldn't have 2 kiddos in diapers but the timing couldn't feel more wrong.  The problem is I am huge, bending down, lifting, chasing a naked baby to clothe and diaper are all very challenging and it's only about to get worse.  She has spent the last 3 weeks obsessing about the Elmo underwear and didn't actually want to wear them until last Sunday.  So with no plans to leave the house I decided it was a good day to give it a go, ditch the diaper and don the Elmo undies. Early on, she had one accident in the kitchen, which she found very upsetting, so we changed into a new pair.  My plan was to set the timer so every 30 minutes she would sit on the potty. By 9 am I had given up...the reward system of a skittle for sitting backfired immediately when she decided she wanted one without sitting for even 5 seconds...temper-tantrum ensued.  She then took off without letting me put the underwear back on, upstairs, with mama in chase, until I was able to tackle her and wrestle a diaper back on.  I just don't have the energy for this.  By Monday, the 6 pairs of Elmo underwear had disappeared and haven't been seen since but she is still stripping her diaper off every time she goes and wanting to sit on the potty.  This is all good. We're not quite there with any advance warning system in place, but she's interested and loves to talk about "pee and poo".  So I will entertain her whims but I just can't physically hog-tie the child every time she strips down to put a clean diaper back on and running around sans diaper ends in a mess.  So at 22 months, we are in limbo land- wanting to be a big girl but still very much a baby.  I have had guilt about hurrying her up in order to be prepared for another baby but it is very clear that there is no point unless it is truly Harper's idea.  So I am going to step-up my game, add some supplies to my potty-training arsenal, do my research and maybe, if it really is time, Harper will be official in the next month.  

Time flies and so does a 2 year old!
