All I Want For Christmas Is........

As I mentioned in my previous post, I started potty training Charley this past week. She is still doing well with that. However, she is still hanging onto to her bowels, if you know what I mean. I'll keep you posted if anything should change! One of Charley's favorite things to do after she goes potty is to flush the toilet. Perhaps that is because on Elmo's Potty Time the kids wave and say goodbye to their "business." I finally had to explain to Charley that she can only flush the toilet when there is actually something in the toilet to flush. So what did Charley do....she started putting all kinds of things in the potty. So far, I have discovered an English Muffin, of which was HUGE because it had been in there for awhile, Ryan's guitar pic, and a granola bar that was still in it's wrapper. Obviously these were all items that could not be easily flushed. Each time I discovered one of these things, I had a long discussion with Charley about how we don't put anything in the toilet except for our "business." I had yet to discover anything for a couple of days and was beginning to think this phase was over. I was wrong. When I got out of the shower tonight and went to use the bathroom, this is what I discoverd. And no, it doesn't work anymore. Apparantly this phase is NOT over.

LOL! Mel, thank you for making me feel better about our own potty training adventures here at the Rechkemmer house. Carina likes to flush too, but she doesn't like it when things other than "business" get into the toilet. She nearly had a breakdown when Callen pulled himself up on the toilet and threw his favorite plastic piece of friend chicken in there.

That is hilarious!!! I'm sure it's been a frustrating process, but it's good to see that you have a sense of humor about it. Priceless:)
