We've been putting Ellie on the potty before her baths lately. Not really potty training, yet - just sort of pre-potty training. Usually, as soon as we sit her down, she looks up and says, "It's all gone". We used to pick her back up after she said that but quickly realized that it was, in fact, very much not all gone. Thank God for Woolite.
And a classic Walker potty training story:
It was Independence Day of 2006 and Walker had just started potty training. We were at a fire at Mom and Dad's so we were really far away from the house. I took Walker over to a tree a couple times to mark some territory, 'cause that's what you do when you're at a campfire. Well, it might not be what you do but it's what one does with a 2 year old who can't make it 100 yards to the nearest potty. Well, we finally went inside to get changed for bed and Walker had to go again (2 year old bladders are quite small). I told him to go into grandma and grandpa's bathroom and use the potty.
Walker: I want to go pee-pee on the tree, Daddy.
Daddy: No, Walker, we're inside now. Use the potty.
Walker goes to the bathroom and returns momentarily.
Walker: Daddy, I went pee-pee on everything.
He was right.
