Potty Time!

Wonderwoman's potty when she was a baby...

Dear Dyanna,

Potty training has begun, mommy just hadn't really been that consistent with it, and daddy gets nervous if you're running around without a diaper. You broke the potty time dvd daddy bought for you and we haven't even watched it fully. On days when it's just you and me, mommy would leave you naked as it has been hot lately, and it'll be easier to put you straight onto the potty when it looks like you're about to go. Most of the time you'll go all quiet and next thing mommy knew, there's a puddle on the floor, and sometimes you're not even that far from the potty. Good thing we have the traditional lampin squares handy to wipe up with.

Your potty had been in view for a very long time, until one day, you started playing with it, and that was when mommy figured it is time to introduce to you what it's all about.

You would sit on the potty, and then get up and say 'All done', and you and mommy would look into the potty and nothing is in it. You'd look at me and say, 'Nada!' and go off playing again.

Sometimes mommy managed to catch you just as you're about to start peeing and plop you straight onto the potty and you'll finish up there. Sometimes mommy misses the moment completely and there's a big puddle on the floor. Sometimes, we get successful elimination all in the potty, and when that happens mommy cheered with joy and try to get you all excited about it.

Auntie Nadia told mommy when she was potty training her boys, she got 5 potties in the house, and there was the pressure to potty train. I guess maybe because we don't have that pressure which is probably why mommy is quite laid back about this. And I doubt we're going to get more than the one potty that was given to us, unless we get the wonderwoman potty, that looks cool. Maybe when mommy is able to take leave, have lots of lampin ready for messes, and leave you diaperless, probably we can get more success.

Love,
Mommy
