Potty Training (and Other Bathroom Fun)...

Little O is officially obsessed...she loves the bathroom more than any other room in the house. She could spend all day there...brushing her teeth, washing her hands, playing in the bathtub, and of course sitting on her new potty chair.

The potty chair has been a big hit..."mama, do potties?" I hear every single time she needs her diaper changed. This is good, right?! Clearly, she is ready to begin the potty training phase of being a toddler... So, why am I so resistant? It just seems like there is too much going on right now to start this...a family reunion is looming, then a long weekend where I am out of town, and the weather is so cold that my whole plan to dress her all summer in sun dresses to make the process easier can't take effect yet. Yes, I have a lot of excuses...

Why is Little O so into the idea? Could it be the kids in her class who are trained? Is it just the novelty of having the potty chair? I have to say, she is so funny about it sometimes... earlier this week she was sitting on the potty in nothing but her rain boots (green rubber frog boots), reading "Golf Digest" and repeating "Tider Woos, Mama" over and over...it was pretty funny.

Perhaps it is time to stop making excuses and start the training...she seems to be ready to be a big girl, even if I'm not ready for her to be one. But maybe we could wait until after this family reunion business???
