Bella's Potty Training Has Begun!

We went out and bought Bella her potty chair and a package of Easy Ups (Pampers). I didn't want to use Easy Ups, but I honestly don't know what else to try. These seem to help her realize that she's made an "eww" right after she did it. Once she does, I'm taking her to her potty and having her sit on it. We have the wipes right there, so when she's "done" on the potty, she can wipe.

Sometimes, she'll want to sit on the big potty and we've done this and without the blue piece on the toilet seat. I like it so far. It'll definitely take some time and consistency, but I think we can have her potty trained by the time she's 2 years old.. maybe a little bit past. Hopefully by New Year's she'll be completely potty trained.

Every time she does something good (like telling me "eww" or "potty", I make a big deal out of it. Once she goes in the potty, I'm going to make a big deal about it.

It's very easy to remove the blue piece to put on the toilet seat and it's just as easy to take it off the toilet seat to put it back on the potty chair. I would write a pre-review for Wal*Mart (where we bought it) but apparently, it's so new that the site doesn't have it up yet.

If two hours go by and she hasn't said "eww" or "potty' we are going to the potty to sit down for a few minutes. I'm also taking her when I go; Daddy not so much because he has different parts.

1-2-3 Teach Me Training System
The 1-2-3 Teach Me Training System includes a potty, trainer seat, and step stool in one!

  • Built-in handles on trainer seat - so far, so good
  • Easy clean drop-in bowl prevents leaks and spills - haven't had any messes, but the bowl is easy to drop in and looks like it would prevent leaks and spills
  • Non-slip base - it has two rubber pieces that go on the bottom part of the white piece, to keep from slipping
  • Teach me chart helps your child learn the 5 steps of potty training - this is located on the top of the lid (green piece). You can't see it very well though.
  • Includes a potty training guide - this has to be the same as the above; the "User Guide" has the parts list, how to assemble, how to use, how to transition to the toilet and how to clean. Nowhere do/did I see a potty training guide.

BELLA PEED IN THE POTTY!!!!!

I put her on it after her nap. Super poopie, but showed her where it goes and then I sat her on her potty chair, thinking she's not going to do anything... then, I heard the tinkle-tinkle of her going pee in her potty!! I'm so proud of her!!

This is all from a conversation I've had with someone I mentioned in this blog awhile ago.  It seems surreal to me that we can talk so freely about the stuff we couldn't talk about ten years ago.  Then again, I was letting the conversation happen, so what does that say about me?  Why am I taking these deep breaths?  Why is my heart beating faster? I'm going to blame the coffee and an empty stomach.  Or maybe the too tight jeans that I shouldn't have worn.  That makes much more sense and I like that explanation much better.  There's nothing deep seeded here.  Nothing.  Why is it that he's always the one to message me first?  I still don't know how to interpret that. I should have started copying/pasting much earlier in the conversation.  The first part sounds bad.  We were talking about a time about 11 years ago when I'd hopped a Greyhound to see him in college for a week. I'm wondering if he was patronizing me (or just being drunk) toward the e

At the check-out line

I posted this on a social networking site and the comments took the post in a direction I had not intended.  So, I'm "moving" the original post here, along with only my comments (edited). One thing that cashiers in any store would love for customers to have is etiquette at the check-out line.   Oftentimes, customers are on the phone having a conversation while the cashier is trying to do their job.  They can't do it accurately unless they're able to talk and conversate with you.  Please, put down the phone (tell the person on the other end you'll call them back) and respond to your cashier. Also, some cashiers are just naturally bubbly and in a good mood.  If you're having a bad day or are in a bad mood, the cashier can tell and they want to help you make your day a better one.  Not all cashiers are like this, but I am.  It actually hurts my feelings a bit when I ask, "Hi there!  How are you today?" and all I get is a grunt and a sour puss fac

10 Statements

Instructions: Write 10 statements, intended to different people.never tell which one is to who things you've always wanted to tell people. (*one or two may not even be on myspace. -Tam) 1. There are times when I love you, but there are times when your actions speak louder than your words and you upset me. I'm afraid to tell you to your face because I'm afraid it will screw with our friendship. 2. It was interesting having my own "puppy dog" for a couple of years. I got a little worried when special permission was given to go to my school. This was the catalyst for the drift in our friendship, which was rocky, at best, in high school. I'm sorry for treating you the way I did. 3. I forgive too easily, sometimes. My folks were mad for a long time; I think they still are. But I forgive you. I forgive you because you helped so many times the last few years when it was really needed. I appreciate that. 4. I still love you, but no longer in love with you. I'm hap
