My Momma got tired of cleaning up after my Mah (also known as a sheep) and decided yesterday that now was as good a time as any to potty train him. She suggested that it would help the Mah to learn how to go pee or poop in his potty if I sit on my potty, too. I liked the idea. I tell my Mah to "pee now!" when he sits on his potty... and after my Momma dumps my pee into the big potty, I help by dumping the Mah's pee in, too. The best part is that whenever I pee in MY potty, I get a star on my chart! Eight stars mean that I get to pick a toy car from the basket of cars my Momma bought at Goodwill. After some initial confusion (over thinking I should get a car EVERY time and when I go in my diaper, too), I am happy with the arrangement. Just to make sure my Mah doesn't get jealous, he gets a small star on the chart, as well.
My Momma got me some big-boy diapers (they turn COLD when I wet them), and for a few hours a day she is being very very brave and is putting BIG BOY UNDERPANTS on me! The bean bag chairs, the mattress, and my stuffed animals all go away during that time... no idea why.

Good job, Mah! What color star do you want on the chart this time?

I'm getting pretty good at this peeing in the potty thing, and so is Mah. I can't wait until I am allowed to pee standing up like Dad! They will put cheerios in the water for me to aim at... but first I have to be ALL DONE using diapers... at least during the day.

Ah yes. Here is the famous chart! We decorated it together, and now I have lots of stars for peeing in the potty! The right side of the chart is still a work in progress... I plan to earn myself LOTS of bwee-yas soon.
