Status update

I have not given up, but yesterday was an unsuccessful day in our house.  From about 8:45 a.m. until 6:30 p.m., I lifted the Babe 15 times on and off the toilet, and not once did she do anything other than waste toilet paper.  She wanted to use it, but somehow didn't.  My only results for my effort was an aching back.  That would be why I temporarily stopped for the night.  Fear not, the quest has not ended.  As soon as she wakes up, we will begin again.
