Potty Time!!!

The past month or so our house has been all about going pee-pee and poopy on the potty! Cadence has been doing awesome, and Kaitlin is going at her own pace as usual. The first couple days I was ready to pull my hair out, and I didn't think I could clean up one more accident. Just when I had decided to give up Cadence started telling me when she had to go, and she has been doing great ever since. She even naps without a diaper! Kaitlin on the other hand is more interested in getting a potty treat with as little effort as possible. She will pee in her diaper, then say she has to go in the potty. She will go about 2 drops in the potty just so she can get her treat.

We used several potty videos and books, but my favorite was a book with potty songs in it called Tinkle, Tinkle Little Tot. Here is a sample of one. (Sing to the tune of Hokey pokey)

You pull your undies down
You take your potty out
You sit your bottom down
And you push a poopy out
You do the tushy pushy
Til the poop is in the pot
That's what it's all about!


I thought that one was hilarious, it was my favorite. The girls even learned some of the songs and would walk around the house singing about pee, poop and potties. The song they sang the most was this. (Sing to tune of Itsy Bitsy Spider)

An itsy bitsy poo poo was floating in the bowl
I wiped my bum with paper and flushed it down the hole
I washed my hands with soap then I walked right out the door
And I'll return again when I have to poop some more.

I hope those songs brighten someones day, I have to laugh every time I hear them, and I have heard them a lot!

The other night I was folding the girls laundry, and Kaitlin saw a pair of panties and said "Ooooooh, Panties!" It was said so cute in such a high girly voice, we had to laugh for quite a while. It is now a common phrase at our house. She really wants to wear panties like Cadence, so maybe she is actually ready now. I think we need to have a small potty party for her.
