Almost There!


Roomies, (Hope I don't gross anyone out)


LOL, I had to share this. My oldest is 6 and my youngest is 2. I also have a 3 year old. And today for the first time ever my 2 year old son sat on the potty and went pee!


I can see the light at the end of the 6 year diaper tunnel. LOL.


This sad to in a way, my baby is growing up so fast! Almost makes me want another one, almost, LOL.


Much Love,

Wow! Thats early to learn potty. Could be watching the others? Is your 2yr a girl? I hear sometimes they're quicker than boys. My boy was 3-3.5yrs

Barbara,


I have a 6 year old girl, a 3 year old girl, and a 2 year old son.


He is the earliest out of all of them. He just said "I go potty" pulled down his pants and went and sat on the potty. LOL. Yeah I know it is soon. I am not getting my hopes up, I have heard boys are harder than girls. But wow what a shock.


Much Love,

Hi Dolphin,


I have a four year old that still will not go on the potty. He does sometimes, but he says he wants to be a baby like Conner, (My 22 month old). I keep laughing that Conner will be trained first. I'm not too worried, his preschool says he will go in his own time.


I can't imagine not changing diapers. With my tribe of 6, I have been doing it for the better part of the last 18 years. I figure I have about 2 years left and the last one should be done. At that point I think Pampers might end up going out of business. I have kept them busy for oh so many years.


I wish the little guy luck, it is exciting. We have to do the "potty dance" that he learned in preschool everytime my 4 year old does go on the potty. Hey whatever it takes.

I got my cat trained in the litter box, and she's 2 1/2. She's my child. Does that count? Can I share in the joy of children and being a Mom even though she's a kitty? Please? LOL

Way to go Dolphin! I'm so impressed.

Live strong,
Karilynn

guess you guys haven't seen the shots on the web of the cats trained to use and some even flush the toilet.  No litter, no mess, no fuss.  LOL

I've seen those pictures. Problem #1 is that kitty loves the water too much. While she looks like a panther, I swear she's part tiger. She'd probably jump in it and play. She jumps in the sink, or the shower when it's on. Hey she's not high on the IQ scale. But she's mine! I'd rather teach her to turn on the thermostat in the morning! LOL I'm just trying to figure out how I will "secure" the Christmas tree in the next few weeks. I'll come home and she'll be my topper looking oh so innocent! Any suggestions? Like take away her catnip? I'm thinking about taking her to CA (catnip anonymouse)!

Thanks for letting me be silly!

Live strong,
Karilynn & kitty

Yes CDB,


I am enjoying my babies, while they are babies. That is why this saddens me and makes me happy all at once.


Much Love,
