Little Brownie Bites

IMG_7747paytonwm

Other than wearing pull ups at night for any potential accidents, Payton is completely potty trained. She is now taking herself to the potty, wiping herself and washing her hands.

One problem.

She often forgets to flush. Which is fine, really.

Except ... when she goes #2, I really prefer that she flush. And I really, really prefer that she flush after going #2 when we have guests.

Because having guests announce that they found something similar to little brownie bites floating in the toilet ... well, ya know.

But I still can't help but be so proud of her.

Even when I find a pot full of #2 ... with an entire roll of toilet paper laying on top of it.

Dear Baby Girl ...

Do you see that little, silver knob on the side of the toilet? Use it next time, kay? I appreciate that you want to save your little brownie bites to show me, but really ... I'm good. And I really appreciate that you are wiping yourself ... but please believe me when I say you do not need an entire roll of toilet paper to accomplish that. Kay?

Love,
Your Mama

  3. How wonderful!...I mean the potty training...not having to see the brownie bites, per se. What a huge milestone conquered. I may be seeking your advice when our time comes. Love this photo of Payton, too. She looks just like you!

  6. Ha! Cute in a whole lot of different ways!!! As for the toilet paper...there is a brand that has puppies on it. You follow the paw prints, then tear at the puppy. (which gives you 5 or 6 squares.) PERFECT for teaching kids how much paper to use! We have to re-teach this about once a year.

  10. I am so jealous of that gorgeous hair...my girls will never, ever, ever have hair like that. Good job on the potty training Payton! It's ok to leave mommy presents in the toilet...as long as they are IN the toilet :).
