I'm a BIG GIRL Now!

Yay!! I am so excited Kelsie is finally potty trained. She is 3 1/2 years old. People have been wondering when she was going to be potty trained. I wasn't in any hurry to potty train her ( basically it is just mommy being train to take the kid to the bathroom every 30 minutes to try to get the kid to go potty-with usually one of them leaving in tears.) - I speak from experince of doing the training thing two times before. When Kelsie was two I tried the 30 minute thing and it really wasn't working so I stopped. I then got pregnant with Karlee and used the excuse that when I had the baby Kelsie would just regress. Then we were moving and we moved-so I used the excuse that moving would just make her regress, so what would be the point in training her. So I wasn't jumping on the band wagon to train her or her me.

But when we came back from Christmas break in Oregon City/Gladstone area. Kelsie started wearing her big girl underwear and going potty on the toilet by herself. I never even urged her to do it, it was all her idea. So she made up her mind that she is a "BIG GIRL" now. I think that this will be the way I will train Karlee when she wants to do it.

So now that Kelsie is Potty Trained and has stop using diapers, I was so excited because that meant one less expense of buying Pull-Ups for her. But really it isn't one less expense. Because....

You ask why does she have a picture of an empty roll of toilet paper? Good question. This is my new expense to replace the Pull-Ups expense I now have to buy tons of toilet paper. Kelsie hasn't got the idea that you only need to use 3 or 4 squares for each wipe. She thinks that you need to use a roll for each time. I have gone through so many pencils in fishing out the wads of toilet paper that has clog the toilet up. Hopefully soon she will learn to use only the allotted amount. Until then Jaron will be making a lot of rocket ships out of the above item. :0)
