The two "P's" - Potty and Phone

October 25, 2010

Hannah is ready to be potty trained and so am I. She shows all the signs; she knows when she needs to go potty (or she says "pee-pee")and as soon as she is done with #2 she wants to be changed right away. So this week we are staying close to home or at least at a safe, familiar place like Grandma Connie's or Nini (my Mom) house. So far it's going good. I set the timer for every hour and when it goes off Hannah and I run to the potty and she goes... every time! She is very excited and laughs and claps afterward. The big seller is the promise of Ariel underwear at the end of the week. I LOVE Ariel!
Caleb wanted to call Grandma Connie today to make sure (again) that he could still come over tomorrow morning. He walked around the house talking with her and holding the phone with one hand. After doing a "few laps" he sat down in a chair by the front door. Grandma was at Alison's house so she passed the phone over to Patrick and they talked for a while too. The conversation revolved around Trains, Patrick's new Hamsters (I think he called them Pepper and Sarge) and Caleb going over to Grandma's house tomorrow and that he really hopes Patrick will be there. Patrick said he couldn't but that didn't keep Caleb from mentioning it every 14 seconds. Oh the simple pleasures of a child.
