Potty Traning and Names

Chris came up with an idea that we thought would be great for helping potty train Peyton. He has been begging to go over to his Grandpa & Grandma GG's (Chris's Grandparents). Chris told him only big boys that go peepee in the toilet get to go. Peyton was all for that idea and ran to the bathroom and sat on his little toilet for some time with no luck. The idea somewhat works as he asks to go potty, he just fails to tell us BEFORE he goes. He tells us right after he goes. Urrghh....I'm think he understands the concept but struggles with the 'gotta-go' urge and letting us know before he goes. Any suggestions anyone? He really wants to go over to his GG's house so I think that if we keep it up it may eventually work. I'm thinking about giving him a big cup of juice, parking him on the potty and taking our portable DVD player in their until he goes in the toilet. lol....


We've come up with another name or two we are considering. But are always up for more suggestions. Here is what we have: Alexandria (nickname Alex), Adeline (nickname Addy) and Paige (thanks for that suggestion Arlinda!).


We are finally feeling better at our house! Peyton is sure back to his perky, full-of-it self running wild! I think he was so happy to be feeling better that he couldn't stop running for 3 days! I'm feeling tons better. But still have to sleep with a bunch of pillows under my head, so needless to say I wake up with a kink in my neck and a back!


Here is a layout I've had done for a while, just couldn't come up with a creative title. I finally gave up and just put 'Snow Day!' and called it good.

when we potty trained our first... we just went cold turkey. we threw out all the diapers & stayed home for an entire week. the first day or so was long & somewhat messy, but he picked it up quick. our second is almost ready to be potty trained. but he is in the same boat as your little one - he really wants to use the potty, but he doesn't get that he needs to tell us BEFORE.

good luck!
