Yes honey, it is.

in Potty Time. 2 Comments

Papaya and I are walking back to our bathroom, as I was making dinner she had a bit of a accident and the stench from her panties filled the room.  She does not respond well to freaking out, and honestly I don’t have the energy, so when we have accidents I sort of quietly sigh and tell her we are going to go clean her up then proceed to do just that.  It’s not much worse, or maybe it’s even even, with changing diapers and we have less and less in the way of accidents every week around here.

Back to the story - we are walking (I’m walking, she’s waddling around the poop in her panties) to the bathroom and she looks up at me all thoughtful and says “this is a bummer Mom?”

“Yep” I say, “total bummer” and I keep walking - down the hall towards wipes, the toilet and a new fresh pair of princess panties.

For the last 48 hours all bodily functions that would have previously happened in a diaper were deposited in toilets.  I am so proud I am beaming.

We wear only panties now - it is a dangerous and wonderful time in the house of Papaya.

is better than I could have hoped.  My parents help with the Papaya and she has grown more and more comfortable with her time away from Mommy.  She misses Adventure Dad a lot, no question.  But she is fulfilled in other ways - her time with Uncle and Auntie, her friends, her Mommy time (when I’m not tired and cranky as I was earlier today) and her school where she continues to thrive.

Now if we could get the peeing on the potty thing to be a bit more regular than I’d feel like Super Mama.

Potty Power!

I know, you are as excited as I am.

This weekend we bought Papaya’s favorite new video “Potty Power” and a book or two about how it all works. She had begun to not enjoy the feeling of a dirty diaper so we thought we might give it a try. All day Monday we watched the video, sat on the potty, sang songs and we got a BIG FAT nothing. Well, unless “nothing” is defined by pee in the plastic training panties.

So today, Papaya came home from our evening errands and was standing next to her potty chair trying to rip off her diaper. I helped, she sat, NOTHING. No biggie - we were sure that aside from allowing her 10000 times a day request for watching “Potty Power” (I can hear Adventure Dad upstairs right now whistling the tune of the song) we would not push it. We wanted her to take the lead when she was ready.

I was on the phone with a girlfriend and she sat on the potty as she’d done on and off for the last hour (naked bottom - danger but important). Then she stood up - and what before my eyes did appear? A tablespoon of yellow liquid, from my daughter!

I cheered, we took the pee to the toilet, she flushed, we wiped and washed and went back to our happy day. Then, over the course of the next three hours she peed on the potty five more times, and had one little poop. Her father and I have been praising her all night - and she even got a cold Andes Mint out of the fridge as a “poopie prize.”

I know this is a LONG journey and success is not going to happen overnight but I’m so happy that she seems ready for the journey. She’s leading US, and peeing when she wants to. She can have a diaper whenever she likes (although she’s refused them all night) and have naked-butt-potty-time as well (well, not out of the house for right now).

I’m so happy, I could buy a steam cleaner in celebration….or is that preparation?

Running around naked after her bath she was in prime happy Papaya moment. She came to stand next to me, leaned her little warm body against mine and slightly lifted her outer leg. What next you wonder? A tiny trickle of pee onto the carpet.

I think her current diaper rash may cause her to want to go not on the potty or in her diaper but, damn, I only have four rooms in the whole house with carpet and she chose one of them to do this in. Ah, sweet childhood.
