Potty Training Week - What's in a Name?

Before starting, this is tongue in cheek that's all. Well, also is cathartic I admit

Last Friday, we started the process of Potty Training. WOW! Didn't know that a kid lil'A's size could hold that amount of water and then let it out once every 3 minutes - just enough time to get back from the b-room and for Mommy to clean up.

"Cinderella" seems to be one of my middle names. yikes.

It's all about positive reinforcement. How many times do I praise dry ones and reminding her to tell us etc.

+ the middle name "Quinn". She's head cheerleader on Glee. "Hi, my name is Kat and I'm a GleeK."

Rewards for exceptional work - aka potty success with no mess - is another part of it.

+ "Oscar" let's give out the award for best use of a toilet bowl. Maybe we should call the award "the Golden Plunger".

There is only so much "playing" a toddler can endure with Mommy so, Mommy has to produce some sort of visual entertainment. Bring on the finger puppets.

+ "Heigl" is an alternative last name. (If you don't know, katherine heigl is an actress on Grey's Anatomy, 27 Dresses, and Roswell.

When puppets get old, requests for movies come out. Feel like a Disc Jockey (DVD).

+ "DJ"

Oh yeah, food and drink - LOTS of drink. Hm.... Famous chef... Jamie Oliver works non?

+ "Jamie"

And lastly (that I can think of for now), here I am documenting our fun in a rather unique way. Award winning article perhaps?

+ "Pulitzer"

WOW, I didn't have so many names this week.

"Kathryn QUINN OSCAR HEIGL DJ JAMIE PULITZER Webster"


Please take this all in jest. Phew, and the week isn't even over yet.

Mason Elliott Hunt - Born April 20th, 2010

Yup, David (my brother) and Michelle welcomed little Mason Elliott 8lbs to the world yesterday at 8.43 pm at Burnaby General.

All are doing well and they are to stay at the hospital until Thursday.

I'm sure they will put up pics when they can. I will try to post as well.
