Today (Saturday 9/20/08) was a BIG day around the Barr Household. Our little Shenzie Bear went pee pee on the big toilet!!!!

This is NOT Shenzie going pee pee. This was when we first bought the porta potties and the babies thought they were toys. I just can’t bring myself to put a picture of her on the internet sitting on the toilet doing “her business”.

Who Me?
For awhile now both babies (I guess I should get used to calling them toddlers or kids at this point, I mean they are TWO next week). Anyway, the kids (sounds weird) have both been telling me when they go potty in their diapers with the famous Dinky (stinky). After baths I like to let them run around and “air out”, but lately I have been noticing a trend with Shenzie Bear going pee on the floor after her bath. Saturday I sat her on the toilet ring on the big toilet and held her hand. She “wiped” a zillion times, I think putting the toilet paper in the toilet was way more fun than the actual deed for her. After about 5 minutes of sitting she peed! I almost cried. Not only is my little girl going to be two next week, but she can pee pee in the toilet. Hopefully we can keep up the trend of the big toilet with the rings since I think the little porta potty things are gross and am dreading cleaning them out!!!

What a big girl! Isn’t it funny the little things you are so proud of?
I STILL haven’t bought a potty even though I really intend to introduce it. I’d like to just use the big potty though so that may be what is keeping me from remembering. We have the bathroom gated off so the kids can’t get in but the cat can. The basement stairs are in the bathroom (it’s an antient house) so we really have to be careful with them going in there.
I’m also worried about the one that isn’t on the potty getting mad that they aren’t on the potty. It’s monkey see monkey do around here for sure!

Oh, I also meant to say that I nannied for a baby before I got pregnant. We potty trained her without a little potty and she learned just fine. In fact she didn’t even have a ring.

YAY!!! That is wonderful. I’m potty training our little girl and she is 2 1/2 and it has went kinda easy. I hope you have a easy transition with Shenzie! It is sad though because the daiper is the last thing that I hold on too that still makes her seem like my little baby! :o(
