Potty Training Day 3

By On August 16, 2012 · 3 Comments

Nothing too exciting to report today…

Everything went really well for most of the day. We had a busy day and The Gnome did well everywhere. He peed at the doctor’s office. He peed at JC Penney. And he peed at a restaurant.

He peed in the potty.

He peed in the trash can.

He [...]

The Gnome woke up around 2am and Hubby took him to the potty where he went pee. At 6:30 when he woke up, we didn’t make the same mistake we made on day 1. Hubby got him up and into the bathroom right away.

We spent most of the morning at the laundromat. Instead of [...]

Even though we’re kind of potty training by necessity, I still want to have a record of things for my own knowledge.

The Gnome will be 22 months old on August 10th. We started potty training Wednesday, August 8th.

Confession: I’m Not Actually POTTY Training My Kid.

I have written that since we’re lacking laundry facilities, I have decided to potty train my kid rather than put him in disposable diapers. Well, that’s mostly true.

Except the potty part.

My kid has this weird habit of leaning back on the potty and fire hosing [...]

Cloth Diapering Without a Washer and Dryer

By On August 9, 2012 · 2 Comments

Remember when I participated in the Flats and Hand Washing Challenge? I can’t forget it, it was awful. So awful that, as much as I love and advocate for cloth diapers, I skipped the challenge this year. Ironically, I found myself without access to a washer and dryer just a few weeks later.

Since [...]

Portable Potty Covers!

How brilliant is this?

The Good:

As a mom who is currently potty training a toddler, I struggle with what to do when we reach the point of using the potty in public. Carrying around a potty seat just isn’t an option for me.

Filth & Mishaps – More Misadventures in Potty Learning

By On December 31, 2011 · 6 Comments

I just finished frantically scrubbing The Gnome’s bathroom from top to bottom. Because all of a sudden I had a realization.

Potty learning is filthy!

And full of crazy mishaps. I plopped The Gnome on the toilet after his nap and he fire-hosed the bathroom again. It happens less [...]

He likes to give hugs on the potty. Weird? Maybe… but still really cute!

As I mentioned in this post, The Gnome is starting to potty learn. So far, it has been quite the adventure. And The Gnome certainly isn’t the only one learning here. Oh no. Hubby and I [...]

Potty Overload

By On November 22, 2011 · 1 Comment

After our crazy week of potty learning and getting peed on several times, we decided it was time to buy a new potty. When we bought the first one, we really had no idea what to look for. We knew that The Gnome was waking up from naps dry and we wanted him [...]
