I'm a friend of little Kate and, now that my children are all grown up and out of the home, it is amazing how much you enjoy these precious moments. Sometimes my day is made when I get that call to watch Kate for a few hours!<BR/><BR/>When Kate is at my home, I find it amusing to put her on the potty. She strains, sometimes makes odd noises and soon enough...a little dribble. I also have in the past rewarded her with candy. Sometimes it is a cookie. I figure, that these items are fair reward for all that noise!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056035148697929273.post-33194502363658463322008-10-07T12:42:00.000-04:002008-10-07T12:42:00.000-04:00You have another mom to a Piper posting on here!! ...You have another mom to a Piper posting on here!!

Daddy says, "I dont want Piper to wear underwear, she's not old enough yet." So anyways - they are in the wash now preparing for tonight...the official start of Operation Potty Time. Which happened to start right when Halloween candy came out. So we picked the biggest bag of Reese's candy ever. Daddy wants to know what happens if all the Reese's candy is gone by morning (because of his Reese's addiction) and asked why I got his favorite candy. I said hey Piper picked it out! So, tonight is the night. Last night we had a precursor. I promised her if she pee pee'd on the potty daddy would show her the potty dance. This was enough to get her diaper ripped off in 3.2 seconds and she sat on the potty for a good 15 minutes trying her hardest. She wanted to see this potty dance her daddy was going to do! So we shall see tonight. Maybe you should try to tell Kate if she pee pee's on the potty Daddy will do the potty dance. I wouldn't mention it to Craig though...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056035148697929273.post-22095645382955147912008-10-07T11:58:00.000-04:002008-10-07T11:58:00.000-04:00It's a mixed feeling between knowing I am in good ...It's a mixed feeling between knowing I am in good company, feeling sorry for all of us, and being glad it just isn't me :)Lyndsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18207977772754943743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056035148697929273.post-91750837539343783242008-10-06T12:51:00.000-04:002008-10-06T12:51:00.000-04:00Oh the good ole days. Potty training wasnt terrib...Oh the good ole days. Potty training wasnt terrible with Piper, she actually picked it up quick. She also picked up on the fact that whe she said "I need go potty" or better yet "MOMMMY...I reeeallly mean it this time...I gotta pee!" we would stop. It didnt take long to dermine that we would most likely stop at a McDonalds. The result of this was that I firmly believe for the time Piper was 3 to almost 4 (when I finally caught on) her mission in life was to see the inside of every McDonalds on I-75. I think 1 time out of 5 she would actually have to go. The rest of the times she would announce that she tried, can she have a happy meal now?<BR/>Save youself, dont go there...dont stop someplace with a play area and a happy meal. Stop someplace not fun to hang out at. Do it for youself and the rest of us moms who know that every McDonalds bathroom looks the same. <BR/><BR/>Sidenote: They do not always have the same toys out....found this out the hard way also, when I told my darling daughter "all McDonalds have the same kids toys out" and the cashier told me "no we dont, we have a variety and can pick through the ones you already have, you can have your pick of the toys." <BR/>Thank you McDonald's cashier chickie for discrediting me in front of my 4 year old.Mom2Pippahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18059937451755173413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056035148697929273.post-89088748600079042902008-10-06T12:20:00.000-04:002008-10-06T12:20:00.000-04:00If you become yet another blogger with a kid Chick...If you become yet another blogger with a kid Chickie's age who blogs about your potty training being completed, I will hunt you down and lock you in a Wal-Mart overnight. :)<BR/><BR/>I know there are a ton of other kids Chickie's age who aren't PT'd but it seems I just hear so much about the ones that ARE. I'm afraid my jealousy issues need to be dealt with.<BR/><BR/>Good luck. Hope it goes quickly.<BR/><BR/>And I hope mine goes even MORE quickly. ;)C.

But, it tells you something about how hard it was for me too, that I always tell people the two hardest parts of raising kids were the two "trains" -- potty and driver! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056035148697929273.post-36083441181467551232008-10-06T08:39:00.000-04:002008-10-06T08:39:00.000-04:00oh boy.. we haven't even touched potty training ye...oh boy.. we haven't even touched potty training yet, as when I ask Abby if she wants to sit on the potty, her response is "Nooooooooooooooo", screeched in the most hideous voice you can imagine.
