Adventures in Potty Training Part 4 & The KK Khronicles

Ahhh, potty training. One of my most hated parts about child rearing. We have decided to take a rather lax approach with KK since it was so frustrating with little e. The second time around has been interesting and definitely much more enjoyable. If you need to catch up, read all the other potty training posts here .

So, head strong KK has moved into big girl panties but is very opinionated about which panties she will be wearing. She does have accidents every now and then, but I have not bought diapers or pull-ups since the end of July. Yippee!!

We have also had some very interesting conversations with her while potty training. Hence, The KK Khronicles.

Before heading out to Tae Kwon Do...
me: 'Do you need to go potty?'

KK: 'NO THANK YOU!!!' (at least she has manners)

Me: 'You need to go potty before we leave'

KK: 'Sure, whatever'


After an accident...
KK: 'I absolutely peed in my panties... my lemonade made me do it'


Picking out princess pull-ups...
KK: 'I found Jasmine!! Those, I want those!'

me: 'You like Princess Jasmine?'

KK: 'Yeah... I wish we could go at A Taste of Monterey and see Jasmine... I miss her.'

me: 'Me too'

KK: 'Did she used to be your friend?'

me: 'She still is my friend'

KK: 'Is she my friend too?'

me: 'yes'

(Side note: to all my ATOM friends... miss you all and hope all is well.)

Have a great Wednesday!

Adventures in Potty Training Part 3

As most of you know, this has been an unusual progression in potty training for KK. If not, catch up with the first installment or the second installment of Adventures in Potty Training.

She continues to surprise us. Her latest thing is pooping on the potty, but not pee. She will tell us that she needs to go and will sit there until she is finished with her business. Backwards, I know.

I put her on the potty the other day and when I came back to check on her, here is how I found her. It made me laugh to see just how interested she was in the dog supply magazine.

And speaking of potty training... the dog is pretty much house trained. Woohoo! But, now that we send her out on her own, we have to go on periodic poop hunts. Turns out that her favorite spot to go is in the leaves... not the easiest place to spot poop. Can you find it? It's like 'Where's Waldo?'

Congrats to kmm for finding the poop. You should be proud!! Something fabulous is coming your way sometime soon! (How's that for specifics??)

By the way, I am sure that my neighbor thinks that I am insane... it's not every day that you see some one walking around with a pooper scooper and a camera. And yes, I already know that you think that I am insane.

First person to find it gets a prize! What's the prize you ask? It's a surprise. Hopefully, it's not a steaming bag of dog poop. Come on, who wants to play?

Adventures in Potty Training Part 2

Sometimes, you just have to go.


If it looks like a potty, it must be a potty.

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!
