POTTY TRAINING...

A new adventure is upon our household and I have to admit, it scares the heck out me....not only because I have NO idea what I am doing, Nico can hardly talk and it's sad to me to think my little man is growing up, but I have bought his very first potty insert to sit on the big potty.

So I take the potty out of the package and just look at thinking this thing has directions....ok, that's scary. But anyway, then I think where's the best place to put it and realize probably in Nico and Daddy's bathroom, you don't want to know for those who I haven't explained it too, and thought ok we are going to do this....

So Nico wakes up from his nap and I think ok, this is a good time as he was in a normally happy mood so I took his diaper off and sat him down. If I had my camera guys, it would definitely been one of the bigger photo moments in his life as he looked at me like I was CRAZY to think he was gonna do anything but instantly want off. He didn't want to look at, touch it or have anything to do with it. Talk about discouraging......

So we decided the next approach of encouragement, if anyone had a video camera we definitely could of made $10K off of my silliness and still he is sitting, smiling, thinking I know my real Mommy is gonna come rescue me someday :) But he sat there for another second until this time he said in his own way, "Mommy get me off this thing or else...."

So I took him off and let him look at it on his own merit, not mine which meant now not only am I chasing a laughing, naked baby but thinking he is gonna pee on carpet!!! So my adventures begin and I have absolutely no idea what the heck I am doing, but I am going to continue trying....

Until the next adventure this week of coloring eggs with a 17 mos old......I know, I know I torture myself but I just can't help it so when you see food coloring all over my walls, just be nice and don't ask :)
