The Tater Tot and I had a great day today! We went to a very fun play date with lots and lots of kids where there was a jump house and a guy playing kids’ music on his guitar with some really fun props. We gave and got lots of Valentines. We wore festive clothes and a very cute heart necklace. We napped and rested and played and had fun. And the Tater Tot went pee-pee in the potty seat twice today!

So I decided to print out a cute little Dora the Explorer Potty Training chart and some “special Dora potty seat stickers” and try to get her excited about this whole thing. I tried to teach her how to pull her pants down, which is a “sign of readiness”. Yeah, not so successful at that. Add to that the fact that I don’t currently have any sort of pull-up type of diaper in the house and we’re kind of just wingin’ it. I hope the success of her potty training doesn’t depend on a full-court press right this very minute because, if it does, she may be still potty training before she goes to kindergarten! I’ve also got to get her used to using the regular toilet seat because we’ve got play dates and stuff lined up for the rest of the month! I guess I could cancel some play dates to stay at home and potty train all week… Or maybe we’ll just be sporadic for a minute and put our full concentration on this a little bit later…

Just when you get a pretty good routine going, everything changes…
