Why I just disinfected my foot…

Jun 102010

Because Sadie, my 17-month-old, just crapped all over it. Here’s what had happened: Sadie had been straining and stinking for a few minutes and realized I had the perfect potty training opportunity. She needed to go, I am still recovering from surgery and have no where to go- we had all the time in the world for her to sit on the potty and for me to sit in the floor beside her to encourage her. I put her on the potty.Me: Go poo-poo, you big girl.Sadie: Uugggh. (crinkles up her face to look like she’s REALLY trying.)Me: Good girl! [Read more...]

Well, WHAT a controversy. I have apparently upset a reader because I am not properly potty training and/or disciplining my children. If you know me at all, you MUST know that I am laughing at this as well. The whole point of my blog is to let other mothers know that we ALL make mistakes, none of us are perfect and it is OK! If I couldn’t laugh with y’all about all this, I would LOSE MY MIND! That said, my long lost friend Debbie from Texas just sent me a potty story to top them all!Here it is in [Read more...]

Emma's Antics, Potty Training

Apr 102009

FINALLY! Some progress in Emma’s Peepee Antics. Today, instead of peeing in the floor Emma grabbed her princess cup, drained the juice out of it, placed it in the floor and “copped a squat” over it. I walked in the kitchen just in time to see her pulling her panties up. It’s not the potty, but hey, it wasn’t the carpet either!

The bathroom floor.We don’t have pets (like I have the time or energy to deal with that,) but my house smells like we’re breeding cats. I’m beginning to think that a litter box might be a worthy investment. Post lunch update: (I know you’ve just been sitting at work wondering, “Has that crazy woman’s child quit peeing everywhere?) No, as a matter of fact, she hasn’t.6. The [Read more...]

The Poop Wars

Potty Training

Oh, how I hesitate to talk about this….I love my kids, but you might not. Let me start by saying that Emma(2) is THE most mischievous child I have ever met. The kid can make messes in 30 seconds that take me 2 to 3 hours to clean up. If she is missing for more than 60 seconds, I can guarantee she is doing something she is not supposed to. That being said, potty training with her has been QUITE the adventure. Last week she came to me and told me she had “poo-pooed in Baby Sadie’s room”, and sure [Read more...]
