Toilet talk

I'm all potty trained now.

Yep, no more nappies for me. I'm all about the big boy undies. And I've done well. No accidents, I tell mami and papi when I need to go and that's that.

But I don't like to use the potty alone. I always get mami or papi to come with me. I just like to talk. Sometimes I even read a book, helps pass the time, especially when I have to do caca.

Other times, when mami or papi are in the toilet with the door locked I knock and yell "pee pee! pee pee!" to get them to open up so I can go in. Even if I don't have to. That ALWAYS works, yesssss!

Or better yet, if they aren't opening up, I yell out "CACA!" and then the door opens really fast!

Sometimes mami and I use the potty at the same time. She has given up trying to lock me out. So we talk about what we are going to do that afternoon, "do you want to go to the playground?" she asks.

"Yes mami" I say, then she responds, "Ok, pero tienes que hacer pipí primero".

Other times we just stare at each other. "What are you doing mami?" I ask to break the silence.

Mami says "Doing pee pee. And you?"

"Pee pee coming mami" I say.

Then I hear the pee pee sound from mami. And that makes me want to go too.

And when she is all finished I like congratulate her on a job well done. "Good job mami" I say.

Then when I am done, mami returns the favour and says "Muy bien Little M" and she lets me pour my pee pee into the big toilet and flush for both of us.

It's all about team work in this house and the toilet is no exception. I have to say, I am a very good flusher.

I enjoy my toilet talks with mami. And I think she does too? But I'm not sure, she's a bit funny on this one, I can't quite read her.

Anyway, so what sort of things do you talk about in the toilet?

Win a Fisher Price Ducky Potty

It's been exactly one week and two days since mami took off my nappy and said "No more nappy. If you have to pee pee or caca you go in the potty".

I am happy to report that I have been nappy-free ever since. There have been a few incidents but I'm over those. I know that I have to tell mami and papi when I have to go and I am very good at holding it in a little longer when I want to keep playing.

It wasn't easy. Oh no!



Mami tried to potty train me a long time ago but I really didn't want to and Fisher Price had sent me a really neat Ducky Potty.

So I tried it. I sat on it. I peed and even pooped in it, but I just didn't want to have to think about when I had to go, so I said "No potty mami" and that was that. Besides, no one likes being asked if they have to "go caca" every five minutes.

Anyway, but back to my potty tales. I am now using my Ducky Potty like a big boy. It has a music for both pee pee and caca, and if you want to use the big toilet, you know the one papi and mami use you can take the seat off and use it so you don't fall in!

So to make things easier, and to celebrate my potty success, Fisher Price has given us one Ducky Potty to giveaway!

It's not easy, and remember, it takes time. It took me 3 months overall!

Pee pee in my pants

I've been sitting on the pelela or potty for a while now. You know, just to get a feel for it.
I may have done something once or twice but I still preferred to do my pee pee and caca in my nappy.

That is until this past week. I just thought, "Bueno ya. I'll give my ducky potty a try" and that's just what I did.

Mami isn't working at the office anymore and I've been hearing her say "I'm going to take your nappy off". And guess what? Yesterday she finally did it.

I woke up and she immediately took off my nappy and put on calzoncillos or underwear. She looked at me and said "if you have to go pee pee or caca you go in the potty". I looked over at it and said "si, mami".

My wet jeans and undies...oops! Mami has been doing a lot of laundry

A little later on I felt a like I wanted to pee pee. I held it in and walked over to the potty and did pee pee there. Mami was folding laundry when I did it, so I took the potty to her and showed her I had done it. "Mami, pee pee, look!" I said, and she jumped up and said "muy bien, muy bien!"

Later that afternoon mami and I went to buy more calzoncillos and I chose the ones with cool robots on them. Before going to bed I used the potty again, and I made it through the night without wetting the bed!

Today we went out for a walk and chased a few squirrels. I was having so much fun I forgot to tell mami I had to go pee pee. Oops! I looked and saw that my trousers were all wet.

Mami said it was okay, but that I had to let her know next time. Si mami.

And then you know what she did?! She took off my clothes on the high street where EVERYONE could see me! Mami, that is so embarrassing!

So now I am going to show mami and papi what a big boy I am and use the potty more and more. I just hope mami doesn't see the puddle of pee pee I left behind my bedroom door this morning.

Sorry! I just couldn't hold it in.

Everyone poops

OKAY, I DID IT! I I have finally done caca in my Ducky potty! (and a little pee pee too)

Mami couldn't believe it, she's been waiting almost a week for me to do it. She just flew off the sofa and starting clapping and jumping up and down saying "muy bien Little M, muy bien, hiciestes caca!/you did poop".

Papi also got up from the computer and came over to say "Good job, Little M. You are a big boy" and ran to the kitchen to get some dulces or candy as they had promised.

One of my favourite books all about poop! (but I have the one in Spanish)

All that noise scared me at first. I thought I had done something wrong, but I saw mami smiling and cheering me on, so I knew this is what she had been waiting for.

So of course I also joined in the celebrations and we all danced around the potty. I even did my special booty shake which is always a real crowd pleaser. Mami wouldn't stop kissing me!

But then I just stopped and stared at it. I looked up at mami and papi and said "Caca? Ewwww!"

It's actually really yucky - I mean, I've seen it before, but it really smells. I can't believe I've been sitting in that for 2 years! The things us kids have to go through. Geez.

But now, I am ready to get out of these nappies. So mami, let's get this training started and keep the dulces coming!

P.S. Fisher Price sent me this special potty which has music and when I get bigger I can use on it on the big toilet too!

Caca on demand?!

Lately I have been losing my patience.

When mami doesn't change my poopy nappy right away I just take it off myself. I don't like the mushy feeling and really, would YOU want to sit around on a big pile of poo? I don't think so.

I've given her plenty of warning. When I feel that I am going to do something, I loudly announced that I am doing caca.

Still, she just changes me and ignores the fact that I have pulled off my nappy 3 times in past week.

But this weekend she finally got it together and I have been spending lots of time on the special Ducky Potty that Fisher Price sent me, or the pelela as it's called in Spanish.

 There it is, my potty. Completely empty and clean

Problem is, every time mami sits me on it I don't have to go. Does she just expect me to poo on demand?!
I spent an hour running around without my nappy on Saturday morning and nada. Then again in the afternoon and nothing.

Papi was terrified that I was "going to do something" on their bed or on the carpet. Please papi, give me some credit!

Then at night we went out and... boom! Caca happened. Mami had been waiting for it all day, but she just wasn't lucky enough to have me sitting on the potty at the time.

Sorry mami! Better luck next time.

And so it continues. Mami has offered dulces or candy if I do caca, but I just haven't felt the need to.

I'll let you know if anything happens this week, I just really don't like being pressured.

Happy day mami!

Dear mami,

Papi and I got up before you and we went to the store to buy some yummy things to eat.

Papi said we needed to get you flowers and that I had to be extra good today.

So here it is, your special brunch we prepared and flowers I picked out for you.

We also got strawberries, papaya and cake to eat. Mmmmm, rico!

I hope you enjoyed sleeping in.

Te quiero mucho mucho mucho

P.S. I'm sorry I took off my poopy nappy and threw it on your bed, it won't happen again. I just want to learn to use the potty!

Gracias
