De De's And Potty Training


This is what I will be dealing with for the next couple of weeks! I decided it was time to take the binki (she calls it a "de de") away from Olivia. I am going to have compassion on my mom who will be taking my kids overnight on Thursday--Olivia has never had a sleepover--I'm a little worried. But after the weekend is over--say goodbye to the "de de". She only has it for nap time and bed time so I am assuming that nap time will be a thing of the past as soon as I take it away--woe is me!

Next--I am starting to potty train Olivia this week. I took her to the store today and let her choose her own big girl undies. She chose Minnie Mouse. Then I let her chose a treat for after she potty's. She chose M&M's. She has yet to go in the toilet. I have been setting a timer for every hour and then I put her on the potty--but nothing so far. I am sure that now she is down for a nap she will let it all loose.

This next couple of weeks are going to be--well--my own little hell (pardon the french). Wish me luck (I'm going to need it)!!

Is that actually a picture of Olivia, because it's adorable.

Good luck with the potty training. And I was shocked and appalled at your language on this post. ;)

No it's not a picture of her. It is pretty cute though--that's why I picked it!

I know--I just knew I was going to offend you! (0:

I hope this week goes well for you guys. I'll be thinking of you and be glad it's not me, LOL! Hope the "inspiration" hits her soon.

Potty training is truly of the devil. I HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE it. If it's not Satan's way of having a good laugh, then it must be some sort of karmic retribution. I must have done something really terrible to have to potty train my kids. Good luck with Olivia. I hope that there aren't too many headaches.

So here's a little update--she got up from her nap dry--oh yeah!

I put her on the toilet and left her there for about 15 minutes--nothing. I put the pull-up back on her, closed the bathroom door and in that tiny amount of time she had peed in the pull-up.

Oh man--I think that I have my work cut out with her!!

thanks for the comment. I do come to the activity if that is what you like and provide all of the supplies, some people would rather me not, so then I don't whatever you prefer. I do provide everything, or I can only provide the vinyl. I do whatever you want me to do. My prices vary depending on the product, is their certain items you are interested in?

Thanks for the comment jillene, I am so sorry that I had to cancel on ya'll... But we will get together next week.

Good luck on the potty training, I was so very lucky with zach, he just decided he wanted to go potty like daddy when he was 2 1/2. and the binky went to the binky fairy just before he turned 3.
