Potty Training

Well, Emerson turned 2 1/2 on January 9th. It is past time for her to start potty training. She is ready, but so stubborn. Campbell was potty trained at about this same time and it was a breeze...SISTER, not gonna be as easy. Not to mention that Campbell's teacher pretty much took over and made it happen. Emerson's teacher wants me to start at home and then they will take over....hmmmm!

So tonight, I tried at home. I set the timer for ten minutes and when the timer went off, Iwould put her on the potty.

First ten minutes, clean panties, but no tee tee on the potty.

Second ten minutes, poo poo in the panties! I made her pick up the poo poo with a wet wipe and put it in the potty. That took about 5 minutes of coaxing, but I wasn't backing down. She was totally grossed out, so I am thinking, "This is a good thing...I got her!"

Third ten minutes, clean panties, but no tee tee on the potty.

Fourth ten minutes (or should I say 3 minutes in) PEE PEE IN THE PANTIES ON MY COUCH!

So I am done for tonight! She thinks it's funny! I don't! Candy, toys, jewelry...she doesn't care. I'm telling you this girl is so hard-headed! Call me a lazy mom, but I am just going to need her school to step in and potty train her. I mean she gets more diaper changes there in a day anyway, right? I didn't really potty train Campbell and it only took him 2 weeks so whatever I did, I don't remember. Besides, I really do not have time to educate myself with books that have tips and techniques that will not work on this girl!

Peace Out in Pee Pee Poo Poo Land!

I'm Baaaack!

Going to try this again. Seriously. I really do like to blog, but I get so caught up with so many other things that the blog has to take the back burner.

I am really going to focus on getting crafty (er). I mean really try to sew...well, at least dresses and cute pants for Emerson.

I am really going to focus on selling my house (yeah right...have you seen how awful the market is these days).

Not going to commit to blogging a certain number of times per week (we all know where that got me).

I just really enjoy putting my life down in print, so we'll see...if only I was a stay at home mom...I have such high aspirations and no time because of my day job! Oh well, somebody's gotta pay the bills and my aspirations alone won't cut it.

Until next time..............................
