L: Here are your undies. Can you put them on?
J: No. I want to wear a nappy.
L: You are too big to wear a nappy. Here are your lovely pink undies.
J: What about a pull-up?
L: Don't you think undies are better?
J: (voice quavering and getting higher) Pull-up! Pleeease!
L: Okay, here's your pull-up.
J: I want the one from the car.
L: This one is exactly the same. But if you want the one from the car, go and get it.
J: No thanks, I'll wear undies.
L: Right. Here they are. Can you put them on?
J: Can you help me?
L: Sure. I'll hold them, you put your legs in.
J: No. I'll hold them and you put my legs in.
L: Actually it will be easier if I hold them and you put your legs in.
J: No! You put my legs in!
L: (after a brief struggle) Okay. Your legs are in. Pull them up now.
J: NO! I want to put them on all by myself! (Pulls undies off)
L: I'll leave you to it.

Too funny, I have similar conversations with Zoe all the time. If I help her too much or in the wrong way, she'll undo what we've done and start over.
Oh Laura this convo takes the cake! For any mom that has toilet trained a tot this is truly side splitting!
