Potty Training

Next month I'm going to start the dreaded potty training.......so I've been reading alot of tips, methods, etc. There are like 5 million different types of pottys. LORDY, do they have to make it that difficult?!?!

Aiden has started to mimic Mommy A LOT, so I thought maybe that would be a starting point. For example, if Mommy washes her hands he runs to the bathroom places his step in front of the sink to wash his hands too. Even if they aren't dirty. When I call Murph I say "Murph" and make a kissy noise and either slap the side of my leg or chair if I'm sitting down. And do you know that kid does the VERY exact thing. And heaven forbid if Murph doesn't come the "MURPH!!!" gets louder. In other words I really have to watch myself what I say and do. Oh he's growing up so fast in like a month he will be 2!!!! My baby will be 2! OMG.

So for potty's after hearing horror stories about how when Wes was little he REFUSED to use a big potty when they were on a road trip made me determine right there I didn't want to get one of those little pottys. Did you know they make mini urinals?! haha They do. But I decided we will get one of those seats that pops onto a normal toliet to get him in the habit....even though he's been working with a little potty at school.

I decided since he is very adamant on doing the same things Mommy does I think he might be more accepting of it. We've been reading potty books and everytime I go he stands there waiting and watching haha (never get a moment alone) I say to over and over "Mommy is going potty. Do you have to potty?" Which is always "No" lol

So I look forward to this journey and see much more laundry in my future...
