{Happy "P" Day...or something like that}

Yes, as some of you have guessed, today was "P"otty Training Day! Finn has loved sitting on his potty chairs so we've tried a little bit already, but today I was determined to start for real. After breakfast (and a full glass of milk) I took him to his potty chair and Puppy went potty. Then it was Finn's turn so we sat and read and drank water and read some more. Nothing, which I figured, so okay. We got up, I set the timer, and he ran around diaper-less while I tried to give him as much water as I could. And so on....After the third time on the potty chair and nothing, he got up and went about playing.

After a minute or so I noticed he had kinda stopped and was leaning against our bed and, you guessed it, pee-pee all over Mama's bed skirt (and floor). Mama: "Finn, look you went pee-pee on the floor. Next time you can put your pee-pee in the potty." Finn: "Nnnnooo." That wasn't our only accident of the day but I won't go into detail on the other one. I think he was actually holding it in while on the potty and then would go within minutes after getting up. I keep telling myself, Baby steps, we are not in any hurry. Diapers do have their benefits!

{Wanna go for a ride...}

...in my new bike?!! I wish (Sigh). You can help me out if you click on the link to the right and check out the hip new Madsen Cargo bikes. Wouldn't Finn be the cutest sitting in the bucket, his blond curls blowing in the wind, his little puppy dog sitting on his lap licking his face?!! He wishes (sigh).

Puppy Dog? No, "P" day does not involve any additions to our family, animals included!

I had planned on posting a picture hint for "P" day, but today was busier than expected, so it just didn't happen. And to clarify, tomorrow is "P" day!
I will say that "P" day could be a major turning point for us, or an utter disaster, we will find out tomorrow! Mama will need lots and lots of "P"atience and Diet Dr. Pepper - and we're out (of the soda that is).

(As Finn would say) OOOOOH NOOOOO!

{2 days left....}

Pie-baking? Pajama Day? Petting Zoo? Party?!!!! Painting pink pajamas, policeman in a pail, Peter Pepper's puppy, and now Papa's in the pail (sorry, that just slipped out, I don't know why, I haven't read that book one thousand times!).

(as Finn would say)- Hmmmmm.

Maybe I'll leave a hint tomorrow!

{Sassy}



Who me?!!


I am finally getting around to a PS course I signed up for and LOVING it!!! I'm definitely going to have to do more!

{3 days until....}

"P" Day! Hmmmm...so what is "P" day? Playing at the park day? Picking yummy vegetables from our garden day? Painting with our new fingerpaints day? Maybe, could be one of those. Or maybe not. "P" day could have multiple meanings now that I'm thinking more about it. But, since it's only 3 days away and I have some preparation to do tomorrow, I'd better get some sleep! You'll just have to wait and see!
