I'm never sure what constitutes a blog entry, I've personally come to accept anything in my life that is out of the "ordinary" as exciting and therefore worth sharing. Yesterday my child, my first born used the toilet (I don't mean to flush for the thousandth time a handful of just toilet paper) I mean really used the potty. As a first time parent and someone with limited exposure to toddlers I had no clue how thrilling this could be. This is the start of no diapers and more independence, for everyone involved. Now, seeing as this momentous event took place at our friend Amy's house- who knows if it will ever happen again. Really though, who cares?! At least I know now she is capable, in fact she's a genius. Anyone with experience on this subject is asked to add a comment regarding any potty-training tips/advice for us "new" parents with a two-year old that is obviously interested in the potty. Honestly, we have no clue what we are doing.Friday, September 12, 2008
It begins...The battle.

Here's the deal. When I potty train your kid, I get the credit. then you can potty train mine.
I'm using a tried and tested book. Potty Train Your Kid in One Day or Less....how could you not love that idea. We start on Monday. I bought lots of treats, salty snacks and yummy drinks with straws. We will be potty training a doll first so he gets the idea and then we start with him. I'm afraid lots of cold showers will be on the list for Monday. After each accident, he gets a cold shower. I've heard people swear by it. I'll get you the name of that book. It has everything in it, except for the cold showers. I added that one, but hear it works wonders.
