Princess Potty


This is her Princess Potty except that it's pink and not blue
Well to those of you who read this blog I need some advice. First of all Allison has been telling us for a few weeks now when she's stinky or wet and needs to be changed. Yesterday morning she pointed to her diaper and said stinky, but she wasn't stinky. But what she was telling me was that she needed to go to the bathroom before she went to the bathroom. She went peepee right after she told me she needed to. So I figured that was enough signs for me to get her a potty. So when I was at Target I got her a Princess Potty, that plays music when you go to the bathroom and you can use it as a step stool and move it to the regular toliet. So here's my question, to those of you with girls. How do I start teaching her how to go to the bathroom on the potty?? I do not know what to do. My mother in law told me to put her on the potty when she's about ready to poop because that is the easiest sign to recognise first. But how do you get them to start going potty in it?? Right now I take off her diaper and sit her on it and ask her to potty if she needs to. I've also been putting her on the potty with the diaper off when I go to the bathroom. I've heard that doing this helps them understand because mommy is doing it. But I do not know if she knows that that is what I am doing. Now she is only 22 months old. So if anyone has any advice please feel free to write it on here or call me to talk to me about it!

My last month




Hello to all who look to see if I've added a new page in my blog. Well, it's been a long time. I lose track of time. I've had a very busy month of June. But what a wonderful month it was. We visiting my family and on the way back home we picked up our neice Taylor (Jason's family) to come and visit with us for two weeks. We had such a wonderful time with her. The about pictures have Taylor and Brayden in them. Father's Day weekend was very fun, Taylor's parents came up and brought their youngest 3 1/2 year old Brayden! He stayed with us for the folling week as well. Brayden is so full of life, like the energizer bunny he keeps on going. I joke about he was such great birth control for me because as of now I have no interest in having another child. My little Allison is such a sweet girl and he is a little of the opposite. I do not know how anyone can handle more children!!! But I hear once you get to number three it's no big deal. What do I say to that, yeah right.
The weekend after Fathers Day was our Fun Run! We left little Brayden home with Aunt Csasi and took Allison and Taylor with us. Taylor decided to run ahead of us while we walked since we were strolling Allison and we were OUT OF SHAPE! Well, when we finally got finished we realized Taylor was MISSING!!!!! And she was ahead of US! Well, we found out the Bishops Wife and their newest grandchild was also missing. But they were finally found a big 10 minutes later. They had taken a wrong path together, thank goodness and all was well.
Allison had so much fun with Brayden. She calls him BeBe! Every morning while he was here instead of asking me where's dada, she would ask where's BeBe. When grandma and grandpa came home she ran up to them and asked where's BeBe? He's at home was out response for the next week. So BeBe please come back and visit!
Though I say Brayden was a handful he was also lots of fun. Every night at dinner he was given a knife at his place setting to which he would hand the knife to grandpa and say "Papa, mama tells me I not allowed to have knives". How wonderful was that? And every night grandpa would forget and so every time he'd give the knife to papa and tell him the same thing.
That sums up my last month in a nut shell. I have many more stories but I should write them in another post. Good Night to all!
