We have been doing potty training on Squirrel now for a while now. Before Bug came, Squirrel was almost there. However, once Bug showed up, the potty training took a big back-pedal. That's okay, I figured that would happen. However, we are still in the process of potty training now...4 months later.
At first, Squirrel would just say she needed to go potty and we took her and gave her a treat for going. That would include an M&M, she got to flush the toilet and also got to wipe herself clean (not in that particular order...haha). Now, that doesn't work. I found that you have to ask all the time....Do you need to go potty? No. Five minutes later, do you need to go potty? Yes! Now that we have put big girl panties on her (they are all pretty with Dora/Minnie Mouse/Princesses) I think she is finally in the end stages of potty training. I tell you what, that seems to be the biggest challenge so far with my parenting agenda!
Consistency is the key. That is hard to do when you work full time and have two different people watching her. However, I think she is going to get it. She is an awfully smart girl :)
I am not too excited about the Superbowl this year. I guess it is because my Colts aren't in it. They didn't have too bad of a season though-especially playing with their 3rd round drafts most of the season. However, I think the best part of the entire NFL season is when the Jets beat the Patriots. I am not a fan of the Jets, but whoever is playing the Patriots, well, that is the team I root for. Now, the only thing that will top the season off perfectly is if the Packers win tonight. The Steelers are my second least favorite team. Why does it always seem the jerks come out on top??? Of course, that is just my opinion ;)
