Potty training vistas

Just wanting you all to really feel like you are experiencing life with us. I hung my last load of cloth diapers on the line yesterday. The covers are clean and stored until baby #3. He is dry through naps,but we are still diapering at night. Yesterday he yelled from the bathroom, "Mommy, I pooped!" I was so proud. Then he yelled, "Come see what I did with it!"

What are they good for?

Absolutely nothing! All he does is poop in them.

Cautiously Optimistic

I think I might frame these baby blues. They are the first pair of "big girl panties" to make it through a day unsoiled. We have been what I like to call "open potty trainers." We're open to it, but not totally commited. Months and months ago, when Olivia first showed interest, we would take her when she asked and occasionally ask her if she wanted to go, but never forced the issue. Maybe it was laziness, maybe it was genius. We'll never know. Last Friday Olivia woke up from her nap and decided she wanted to put on her panties. She has had a couple of liquid accidents, but none of the other variety and none, praise the Lord, on carpet. Sunday was a busy day. All during the course of a morning at worship, she pee-ed on herself once, three times in the potty and pooped once (in the potty). She is well-hydrated I suppose. I was planning to wait until Spring, but if she is ready... And the best part is she can do it entirely by herself (at home). It takes her about 10-15 minutes start to finish, but she is doing it.

Doesn't everyone take their Noah's Ark "purse" to the potty? Check out new paint in downstairs bath - finally.
Did cottage cheese bum ever look so cute? Note the shoes - in case we have to make a quick break for the potty. Which, incidentally, did not actually happen - she pooped on the kitchen floor. Anyone want to come over for supper?
