~ potty ~

Went shopping yesterday with my good friend Becca (she is expecting in June and just found out last week she is having a boy...see the link to her blog - The DeWild Family). ANYWAYS, we went to Des Moines to look for some kid/baby stuff...and I got Keatin her first potty. We have been talking about getting one for awhile...lots of times, she will tell us before she poo-poos...and just thought it wouldn't hurt to have one around...although I have no intentions of truly doing the potty training thing until this summer.

Of course, the potty was a HUGE hit when we got it home...drug it around the house...played with the potty-collecting part, etc... Just had to share 2 funny stories...
1 - Keatin had taken the small potty-collecting part out (not sure if there is really a proper name for this our not). :) Anyways, a few minutes later, she grabbed it out of the kitchen and brought it to me. I told her to go put it in the potty...and she tottered off. I was talking to Becca...and Keatin came back with that piece to her potty...and I noticed her arm was all wet and the potty-part was dripping...she had put it in the "potty" AKA: the big potty. :)
2 - Later, she wanted to test out the potty for real...kept saying "potty" (or her version of how she says it). So...we got the diaper off, got the clothes off...and she was sitting on her potty...kept saying potty and pointing in the potty... Anyways, I was talking to my friend Ann on my phone while we were doing this....so I was distracted. Keatin stood up after awhile and said "all done." Fine...no potty in the potty, but good try. I was talking to Ann...and Keatin crawled on top of the big potty...which she does sometimes anyways. Next thing I know, she is sitting on the lid of the big potty saying "uh oh" and peeing all over the lid! Had to hang up with Ann...and clean up that mess! Of course, I was excited because she has the right general idea...just bummed I couldn't have gotten her to go in her potty and we could have had a potty celebration! Maybe next time... :)
