I would love to see the letter if you don't mind PM'ing me.
Today dcb4 came in undies again. I decided to let him have 1 more try, after having a little pep talk with him, and he has gone all day, (#1 and #2) on the potty. I put a diaper on him for naptime, so we'll see if he wakes up dry. After today's success I feel like he might have been able to potty train for a while but he chose otherwise. The mom apologized to me today for springing undies on me, and admitted that she really wasnt sure how to go about everything (AKA didnt read the contract) which did make me feel better. That little bit of respect from her made a big difference.
The other 2, 3 yr old sibs are the ones that I don't think are really super ready. The little girl will ask periodically (as of this week- which is progress here), but today she has been asking right after she pees in her diaper. The brother asks to go after she asks, but I think they are more interested in the M&M rewards. I have been doing this for 4 weeks with them. Their parents are the ones who are really pushing and have a set date (which imho is for them, not their kids). They do not understand that kids act differently in group care then with them.
