The Poo sits on the potty, eating her lunch and watching a DVD on mommy’s MacBook.

We used to put the small, portable training potty in the living room. One of the prerequisites to watching anything on TV was that she sit there and try during the beginning of the show.

I don’t fault you one bit for that one. If she’s relaxed and distracted, maybe the “poop door” will be open. We read or sing songs if we’re having a particularly difficult one.

Did it work?

Please let me know if it works, because we’re having issues of our own over here.

Oh, My. That’s funny! I guess it’s kind of along the lines of reading in the bathroom, but eating is kinda gross… ;)

God bless you, Mrs. C, God bless you.

This made me laugh, and knowing what you do about my current situation, that’s a pretty amazing feat.

Thank you!

That’s hilarious — I laughed right out loud in bed and started smacking Gruff repeatedly on his arm. I hope it worked!

I don’t normally comment on someones blog just for the sake of it (unlike other folks who do it just to get attention) but I’m hoping that your post could lead others to turn this into an online conversation.
