It's never too early

I'd heard from several good friends (yes, you Meredith) that moms can potty train their babies. When it was first explained to me, it was in the context of tents and dirt floors and a matter of just holding little baby over the 'toilet' til they go. I'm sure it was my imagination that painted the desert scene, but even the thought of holding my baby over a nice white toilet bowl sounded like a huge time-waster to me. Then my friend Sarah showed me this baby potty and I couldn't resist giving it a try. Holding the baby over the toilet -- definitely not. Letting the baby sit and do his/her business -- maybe. For a few dollars I figured it might be worth a try if it meant getting a head start on that dreaded milestone.

So... how has it worked so far? I'd say pretty well. Though Janey doesn't tell me when she has to go potty, she is fairly good at filling it up whenever I place her cute little bum on the pot. Don't believe me? I have pictures to prove it!


I'm supposed to do what? where?

Oh! I get it!
See!
(Admit it, we all turn around and look at what we did in there)

Jane is a super-duper pooper. She can potty with the best. No more diapers to get in her way. We are very impressed. Jane is a super-duper pooper. She knows when she has to go. Take a bow, she's a big girl now, she's the best pooper we know.

It's a BabyBjorn.... I got it from amazon.com. But I'm sure there are other brands and styles just as nifty. :)

With my queasy tummy and after having my kids throwing up and with diarrhea this week, seeing Jane's poop was the last thing I needed to see.
Oh man I feel sick!
