Tuesday Snapshots

Oh I just can't wait to be king.

I was told today I was King, not momma. Here's how the conversation went.

Me: Kenley remember we don't pee in our panties. We pee in the potty.
K: I am not Kenley, I a princess. See. (shows me her glitter flip flops and her dress.)
--she goes to the potty and goes #1.--
Me: good girl Kenley. I'm very proud of you.
K: I not Kenley, I princess, you hear me King.
Me: King?
K: Yeah, you King, you not Momma.
Me: Ok good girl princess, thank you for going in the potty.
K: you're welcome King. I love you King.

Guess she knows who's King of the house. lol

Potty training is going well again today. Much better since we moved in the potty into the living room. I hope we can eventually move it out, maybe when she goes to college. lol

You see things have changed around here. Just a new look, same ole me. Had to spice it up a bit.
Hope you enjoy!

Potty Training #4

Whew. Its been a long weekend, really the work has never stopped. It felt like just another weekday as J was busy doing his stuff most of the weekend which left me and K potty training and dog sitting.

Speaking of potty training, today went much much better. Only had one accident, which she caught herself in the middle, stopped and then finished on the potty. I don't know if you are suppose to do this or not, but we moved the dora potty into our play room/living room. The way we have it now our play/living room is gated off so the dogs can not get into the rest of the house. It was easier potty training the pup that way, plus its easier during the day for me to keep my eye on them. Isis and Ninja tend to get into trouble together, chasing the cats, tormenting the older dogs, etc. With that being said, I had the potty on the other side of the gate, which meant K really had to tell me when she had to go. Which was working okay until Sat. day 3 then that plan fell apart. So, I made the decision to move it into here so that she sees it more, is reminded more, and go whenever she feels the urge herself. Its working. And its working very well. My plan is after we get the hang of this, slowly move it out closer to where it was, so that its not sitting right in our living room. Its great there for now, but I would like for her to be able to go somewhere outside of the living room. I hope I did the right thing and haven't created another bad habit. Ugh, its hard knowing what the right thing to do is. We will see, time will tell. So for now, we are feeling good about this potty training stuff and K is doing really well.

The week will be interesting. Wish us luck.

Potty Training day 3

Summary: Lots of accidents, did not go well. Tomorrow is a better day right, um, sure hope so. The only thing I can think of that has changed between today and days 1 and 2 is that J is home from work now so perhaps that has her a little more excited and preoccupied.

Deep breaths, asking God for the return of my sanity and patience, and even a slip of a drink was in order today.

For today this is my motto:

potty training dropout. No graduation day for me....Potty training dropout, missed midterms and flunked no poo. Potty training dropout, And go back to pamper school.

Maybe tomorrow I will have a more positive supportive motto. Today, not so much.

Potty Training #1

Yesterday K woke up and was ready to use the potty again. Wow, who would have thought. We were totally unprepared for that decision but we improvised and things went well. I took her every hr, even when she didn't tell me she had to go, and she always went on the potty. I think she might have peed in her pants twice possibly 3 times and poop once. She was very proud of herself.

When I told my mom about our new adventure, my mom said tell her Grammy is very proud of her. So I told K that. K responded with Grammy bake me a cake and send me a surprise? I had to laugh at that one. She knows where her bread is buttered already.

Day 2- today, is going well. She wore a pamper last night because well thats all we had. She did stay dry overnight. This morning has gone well so far. Knock on wood. We have our princess undies on and have talked about how princess's go to the potty and not in the undies. So we will see. She still is hestitant to tell me which has me worried so hopefully that will come with time. We just started this a day ago so I can't get discouraged or too concerned yet.

Any suggestions or advice would be great.

Potty training moms wanna know....

a. what do you do for night time? do you let them get up and go? tell them to hold it? how do you do it?

b. is it okay to read book and be on the potty? i don't want to start a male bathroom habit of taking a book to the crapper each time. lol

c. did you just skip pull ups and go straight to underwear, after they got the idea of what was going on? are pull ups worth it?

Its back.

This blog post is being interrupted by a very sore neck. This time its the right side. All was great until night before last. I woke up with severe severe pain and stiffness. It hasn't gotten any better or worse. Checking into chiros in the area, hoping my connections can get me in SOON!!

So until I feel somewhat human again and my head is not tilted, I'm going on break.
