The Joys of Potty Training

Who Doesn't Love the Potty and a Good Book?


To those of you who don't know we are working on potty training with Isabelle. She was the one who showed interest and I am running with it. I have a pretty relaxed approach to it. One of the best things about potty training is that it is built in with it's own comic relief. Since we have started we have had good days and bad, but all of them funny. She is a sneaky kiddo (just being honest) and likes to hide when she is being naughty and when she has taken off her diaper and pooped or peed on the floor. She loves a poop and a good book as you will see in the pictures that follow. We (I am using that term loosely as I have not) have eaten poop, peed on our hands because of pure curiosity and we love to watch ourself pee and see the surprised look on mommy's face when she notices that the diaper is MIA and I am naked running through the yard. Oh boy...what fun! Well that is an update on Issy.

Summer Days

Oh So Sweet!



Isabelle Loves the Water. She Would Play In It All Day



Me Issy, Me Like Green Beans and Blueberries



For those of you that don't live here in CO, it has been super hot. I think it is the 20th straight day of over 90 temps. The other day it was 104. On these hot days I tend to be out of ideas of things to do, but Isabelle keeps me busy anyways. Right now we are going through potty training. I know she is young but she is interested. The only problem with this is that if she doesn't have a pair of bottoms over her diaper she takes it off and goes potty right there. She is super funny with this whole process. She is also in the phase of hiding and being sneaky. If she is quiet and shut a door with you on the outside she is probably doing something she shouldn't be like eating crayons, peeing on the floor or tearing things apart. I find myself laughing at so much that she does and thanking God for her and my family each day even more then before.
