Free Bird



We put Kayla in a toddler bed last night. We also bought a "princess potty" that looks like a throne and plays magical music every time she makes a royal contribution.

She's not sure about either one yet.

This morning we found that she had given her sister a few books for morning reading ... only, Maddie is more interested in eating the books than reading them. She may be part gerbil.

Kayla can crawl in and out of her bed at will, but this morning she kept the habit of saying, "Out ... please," which we really appreciate. I wonder how long it will take her to figure that she has graduated from cooped-chicken boot camp to the free-bird sorority.

Oh, what joy (and discipline) awaits. With great freedom comes great responsibility: when you get out of bed in the mornings, please don't feed books to the gerb... um, sister.

Kristi,

This isn't the actual seat we got, but there are twenty styles to choose from out there. Ours was from Target or Walmart. We are having her sit on it several times a day so she can get comfortable with it and learn that it's not a scary chair; she sits in it every time one of us has to use the restroom. In about a week or two we'll start actually having her use it. Wish us luck. And no stomach flu.
