In matters of health and potty training, I always tell Natalie to listen to her body. This leads to some hilarious conversations. Here's one:
Me: "Natalie, before you have an accident and go pee-pee in your panties, you need to listen to your body. Are you feeling it when you have to go to the bathroom?"
Me: "No. Well, but, it's telling me that I have to go, but I'm not hearing it...because my ears are closed."
Me: "Your ears are closed? Can you open them for me?
Natalie: "Yes, I will open them from now on."
We are on our third pair of panties today. Let's see how this works.
