As some of you know, we have been potty training Eli for 3 weeks now. He is doing so good going on the big potty and has only had a few accidents. In fact, this week he has started to go out in public with just his big boy underwear (of course he has pants on too;). But the funny part of our training has been how he gets the "brown" in the potty. First, daddy encourages him by saying "What can brown do for you?" which used to get him really excited. But then Eli proceeds to getting up in a squatty position on the potty and often sings "Old MacDonald had a farm" while he does his business in privacy nonetheless. It is a sight to see:)
Then of course, our little miss Zoey has caught on to the potty thing. So we have started to let her practice sitting on the little potty. Yesterday after she sat for only a few
seconds, she got up and then tried to get back on. Andy and I were cracking up (no pun intended) to watch her figure out how to get back on with her littly booty showing. She did it, but she ended up facing the wrong way with her booty hanging off the potty--it was hilarious (so of course we got pictures).
This ain't no rodeo...this is harder than it looks!

Zoey is too funny!!
too cute!! I love that you guys have a blog - yay!! Question - we have the same little training potty. It doesn't seem to adequate for a little boy though... we're not to the peepee part of potty training yet... still working on poo. Any suggestions on how you made that seat work for Eli?
Thanks Stacy- we think she is cute;)
Kim- we actually had started early potty training on the big potty so he has not used the little one too much. But I would suggest getting a seat cover for the big potty and see if he can sit on that. Also I really liked some of the suggestions that the "Stress Free Potty Training book" had to offer. They approach potty training by figuring out your child's personality first and then tailoring it to fit your child. Laura Timmons is borrowing my copy of the book right now, but you can borrow it after her if you would like to.
