Giving the Potty a Try



This is what I saw when I returned home after a fantastic shopping trip. A local Acme is closing it's doors and everything was at least 50% off. I took a picture of my gigantic pile of groceries because it was such a steal. DVD's for $1.25, Pull-ups (88 of them) for $5.oo, well you get the idea.

Back to the scene at home. When I get to the top of the stairs, I see Alex and Lila sitting and watching Duke basketball. Lila was on the potty. She was pretty excited to show me her pee-pee as she stuck her head almost completely in to make sure it was still there. We are taking the diapers away, with exception of naps and nights for the next three days. That is about as long as I can keep her physically at home. We will see how it turns out. It has to be all or nothing. I can't center my day around asking Lila if she has to go potty or running to public restrooms. She seems to be showing readiness. Whenever she "stinkies" she runs to her daddy if he is home. I guess he has a better diapering technique than I do. It certainly doesn't hurt my feelings. If I ask her if she stinkied, she says no and tries to blame Bunny, Ernie or whoever else is in her line of vision for the smell. I guess time will tell if she is really ready. Wish her luck and me patience.




Of course I had to include the picture of my stash. The keyboard was $2.50!
