Potty Training Blues

After receiving lots of pressure from certain grandmothers, we decided to try potty training during Olivia's Spring Break. The method I chose was recommended by a mom at one of her preschools. It focuses on staying dry, giving kids the reason why they need to use the potty. Well, Olivia definitely learned how to stay dry. She did not, however, get the "go in the potty" part. The result: Olivia got a Urinary Tract Infection from holding her bladder in order to stay dry. So, we have decided to shelve potty training for now. I am in no hurry and apparently Olivia isn't either.

She likes the potty...just not using it!


Maybe we will just let Elmo use the potty for now!

Here is another use for the little potty now...empty Mommy's wallet and hide everything inside :)

Shoot! So sorry that happened!
Looks like Elmo had a good time, though. And Olivia also found a way to keep everyone from shopping!
