As you can see from the picture we are starting to potty train Alia. Actually, if you can't tell from the picture, you might need to get your eyes checked. Egyptians start potty training their children a little before they are two and expect them to be out of diapers a couple months after their second birthday. Their method is sitting the child on the potty and keeping them there until they go. This can be hours of sitting on the potty. We've been at friends' homes where the parents are feeding the child on the potty because he hasn't gone yet. Of course, our method is a little less harsh. Alia hasn't caught on quite yet but she enjoys doing what big sister does so we usually have bathroom parties with both of them.
