The Potty Papers: Set…

10/16/11 | Parenting, Potty Training

The kid peed in the bed.  Now, it wouldn’t be a problem if she’d peed in HER bed but, I don’t have a mattress cover thingy!  I know, I should’ve gotten one earlier but, what are you gonna do? I’m glad she drinks lots of water because it meant that the pee wasn’t too concentrated and I could easily clean it up with some awesome household products!

I was given some good advice on potty training this week. Try putting her on the big potty with her little cover and see what happens.  This will eliminate her getting up while I’m “modeling” for her and unable to run behind.  I have these cute little panties I’m going to use starting Monday and go from there (for her, not for me though I probably could use some cute little panties too but, I digress).  Will need to buy an egg timer to remind me to put her on the potty though.  Otherwise, I’ll be cleaning up pee all day long.  Which reminds me: SO glad we have tile and not carpet (wouldn’t be doing this otherwise).

It was funny because I went to get in the bed and here she starts talking half asleep and says something about pee and pats her diaper.  It’s how I realized she had leaked.  When I looked at her, I couldn’t help but laugh. My frog princess half asleep, with a big ‘fro.  She had a hair tie hanging precariously off of the tip of her hair to the side.  It looked like it was hanging on for dear life! It seemed that the hair got out of the hair ties at the same time as the pee (it was a free-for-all, I tell ya).

I’m excited about the next stage of the potty situation.  I’ll keep you posted after my first day. Pray for me, people!

    “It was a free-for-all, I tell ya” That made me chuckle. Good luck! I do NOT miss this stage…So glad you could smile at this. Sometimes that’s all you really can do!

    Sorry to hear about your mattress. You are so lucky to have tile. We weren’t as fortunate but baby girl only peed on the floor twice….thank God.

  • Here are some of the ecoutrements you might see me in these days. My manillas (bangles), my elekes & ide (religious beads - courtesy of the fabu beader @sainzcorey). I'm answering some questions on the blog about this topic today. #linkinbio #IyawoChronicles
  • There are intense negotiations currently taking place as someone attempts to regain control of her homework while someone else is refusing to move out of the way. I'm not sure how this will end, folks. I just heard the cat took control of the pencil too. #CatsofInstagram #ChichiMinervaRosario
  • These pets should have their own reality TV show. They are both old and set in their ways. And they make me giggle. #ChicoAlbusMendes #ChichiMinervaRosario #Puggle #InstaPets
  • It saddens me how committed some of y'all are to the idea of settling. *files nails*

  • I don't think you understand how happy I was when my godfather mentioned the word parasol. 
You. Can't. Tell. Me. Nothing! I'm outchea giving Iyawo realness in deez streetz and I cannot stand it. It's the little things, friends. What can I say? I'm so happy, my heart feels like it might burst. This week, this journey is my #MondayMotivation. #IyawoChronicles #Mamihood #OloOyasBeLike
  • It's raining, my legs are finally on their way to getting back to normal (thanks, allergy!) and we have declared it a Drop Everything And Read (DEAR) hour. Here's what I'm reading.

My house feels calm and at peace. I'm thinking about what snacks I have in the kitchen and starting to plan for an early dinner (lasagna rolls, anyone?). Though, if I'm honest, I'll say that I kinda want a nap. How is Sunday shaping up for you, friends? #IyawoChronicles #SundayFunday
