Toddler Talk Tuesday

I am so excited to share with you this week. We are potty training! Last week I began the whole process. Sort of. You see my little one has been, on occasion, going "poo poo" on the big girl potty. Since she has done fairly well with that, I thought this whole potty training thing would be a breeze. So overcomplicated by all the other momma's out there. Go ahead, point your fingers and laugh at me now. This is tough!

So away with the thought of just having Rhi go potty when she tells me. Away with the wet diapers because Rhi NEVER tells me. I've got my timers set, the M&M's in the bathroom, the training panties and waterproof covers are on. I have designated the front bathroom or guest bathroom as Rhi's.

The part I am excited about is a little printable I whipped up and want to share with you. "The Potty Challenge". I originally just made one for Rhi and thought some of you might want it. So, I took out her name and erased the rewards we have set for her so you can enter your own. Here is Rhi's:


A simple board game concept. She places a sticker in a box for everyday that she goes with no accidents. When she reaches one of the milestones, she gets the prize we have designated for her. Golden Spoon, a new toy, a trip to Chucke-E-Cheese, a day at Disneyland with just mommy (no baby bro), and finally a pizza party!

She is super excited about all of this. As for right now though, she isn't making it without accidents, so we just put up a little paper by the toilet that says Pee and Poop, she gets to place a sticker in the right section each time she goes. Just a simple little way to encourage her. That and the M&M's.

If you are interested in the Potty Challenge printable for your own little one, here is the blank version. Enjoy.
