Adventures in Potty Training

KK's little boyfriend is potty training and she has fallen in love with his potty chair, so we went ahead and got her one of her own. She's not quite 2 yet, but hey, it's never too early to start, right? I beg to differ.

You see, Super k is VERY independent, strong willed and pretty much has her own agenda. I'm sure it's something that will take her far someday and we will appreciate that character trait in her, but now... not so much.

Everything was going well, she was showing an interest and telling us that she wanted to go. Great! She was actually going potty. Proud moments for us. Then, she decided to take it upon herself to go on her own. Wow! Way to go Bean! Next thing we know, Ms. Independent is dumping her pee from the potty chair into the toilet. OK, a little spilled urine is not too horrible. But this obsession with her potty chair was getting a little weird. She was spending more and more time in the bathroom, which is OK. She can't do too much harm in such a small room. But, it seems as though those walls must have been closing in on her.


Why not have some water and watch a show?? Multi-tasking is a good thing to learn early on.

But this... this is going a little too far.


Naked baby in the back yard going potty is not on my list of acceptable things (but posting it?... Apparently, I have no problem with that).

Have a great day!

Oh Bean! I wonder where she gets traits like you described!

I love this blog. I was sitting here laughing out loud. I have the same issues with Aidan spending sooo much time on his potty. Although we have yet to put it out in the backyard. LOL
