Princess Potty


So Emily is growing up. Our latest great accomplishment is getting rid of the pacifier. Oh it was hard. It was really hard. As of late we have learned to combine strategic movies into manipulating Emily. Today, for example, she did NOT want to take a nap. Crying crying crying. It's been a week almost 2 and she'll still cry for her paci. I did the only thing I could think of. I put on the Minnie Mouse puppet. Minnie told Emily that she was sssssooo tired and wanted to take a nap and asked Emily where the crib was. Once Minnie was in the bed, she asked Emily if Emily would take a nap with her. Emily was more than willing to oblige. 2 hour nap-no crying. Crazy, but it works. We did the same thing at bed time. Worked again.

Anyways. We decided we would get Emily her own special potty. Sometime in the future we want her potty trained, so we figured getting her use to having a potty around would be helpful. She LOVES it. She actually tells me she has to go to the bathroom about a million times a day. 99.99% of the times she just wants to play. Anyways, she was successful one time. But here is our little princess on her princess potty. I think it's kinda funny how intense they make these sorts of things these days.

Haha I LOVE the princess potty! And I love that she's in such a girly princess dress while sitting on it! Now one thing to not look forward to is cleaning that thing out when she does start using it successfully... Good thing we love them so much!
