Potty Training Tips and Tricks

June 24, 2017 By Thaleia 12 Comments

It’s been a few years since we were in the full-time potty training mode but this week Lil’ Red has been showing some more definite signs of desiring to potty train! He is insisting on wearing training underwear but is still having daily accidents! He also wants to learn to wipe with toilet paper which can be a tedious task even for a veteran mom such as myself.

Looking for some potty training tips and tricks? I’ve consulted the “experts” (other parents who have multiple children) and have been successful at potty training! Some of these tips might be so simple that you never thought about them while other’s might be so crazy it’s worth a try!

Introducing Comforts for Baby Products

Introducing Comforts for Baby Products

comforts for baby products

I’m a big time bargain shopper and deal hunter so I was very intrigued when I got the email about Comforts for Baby promotions. I was lucky enough to get in on a Bzz Agent Campaign to review and share my thoughts and experiences with Kroger’s Comforts for Baby Products! Super excited since I have a 6 week old and a 3 year old who can benefit from these items.

I have used Comforts Wipes and possibly their diapers before but have never tried their lotion, baby wash, training pants, or bibs. I loved receiving my envelope in the mail so I could choose the products which suited my family best. I also got coupons from BzzAgent to share with friends and family (if I haven’t offered any to you just remind me ’cause I may have forgotten to whip them out to share!)

So far we have used the bibs for Baby C-4 and training pants for Lil’ Red. I love the size of the bibs. They are perfect as drooler bibs and the training pants are great for on-the-go while potty training. I will keep training pants around even after Lil’ Red is potty trained in case of the flu just to cut down on unavoidable accidents.

Yes, I was given coupons to try and review these items in exchange for my honest opinion. I was not compensated for my review from either BzzAgent or The Kroger Co. Family of Stores. So feel free to check out some Comforts for Baby products for your little one!

Attachment Parenting Can be Tough (and Self-directed Potty Training)

(and Self-directed Potty Training?)

Don’t let the title alarm you or fool you into thinking I dislike attachment parenting. Sometime I wish is was easier like when I am in the middle of researching a topic for a blog post and my 2 yr. old stirs briefly from his nap. I wait a few seconds, since I am the only one home, to see if he needs comforted or nursed back to sleep. He seems a little fitful so I choose to lie next to him and nurse him back to sleep. He sleeps in our bed and that is where he naps. Once he is comfortable and “out” I sneak back to the livingroom where the laptop is sitting waiting for me.

I was torn as to how long I could cuddle my 2 yr. old while this blog post was be built into my head. I did not want any part of it to be forgotten before I could write it. I am not about to “abandon” my child for the sake of blogging hence the title Attachment Parenting Can be Tough. Some days I have to put a lot of things ahead of what I want to do. Some would just call that parenthood or motherhood. I think you have to make the conscious effort to care for your children before your needs in order to be successful. Sometimes this can lead to frustration and exhaustion, but in the long run you will have sweet voices and smiling faces that give you lots of hugs and kisses.

The last few months have been difficult as far as parenting goes. I have school age children who want to stay up late and sleep in even though it is summer! These same school age children still sneak into mom and dad’s bed at night. Although we have a king sized bed, it is not enough room for 5 people. This makes mom and dad cranky when we are kneed or elbowed in the back or groin! I have had nights of lots of nursing which I think must be some more molars coming in? (this makes for a cranky/drained mom who wakes up hungry.) I still think it’s a little crazy that my almost 27 month old still nurses, but HE IS THE BABY, and he does eat “real” food! I am just not ready to MAKE HIM QUIT nursing. Should’ve taken the booby away before the paci but hindsight is 20-20.

And this BABY has decided to work on potty training himself after picking out “Elmo’s Potty Time” video at the library. He watched that thing at least 2 times a day for the 2 weeks we had it. We all laughed when he went around the house saying, “wee, wee, woo, woo” or “pee, pee, poo, poo”. We sing songs and read books and just try to laugh or make a big deal about him sitting on the potty. No M&M’s, no bribery, just plain old-fashioned verbal praise has done wonders. Is he close to being totally potty trained? No way, but he does alert us at least once a day when he needs to sit on the potty. He does both on the potty and that my friend is a great accomplishment for an almost 27 month old boy!
