Little Helper

One of my friends headed home for the summer and before she left I asked her if I could borrow one of her toddler training toilets. So, she brought it over and Rachel became quite fascinated with it. For days the toilet hung out in our living room. Rachel would sit on it, Elmo would sit on it, and it would even be used as a stepping stool. One the first day we had it Rachel was just playing around and all of a sudden she disappeared into the bathroom. I asked her what she was up to and she mumbled something to me. The next thing I knew she was coming out of the bathroom with the toilet bowl brush. Classic! She marched right over to the toilet and started scrubbing away. It's too bad that when I really want Rachel to help scrub toilets she won't be nearly as excited... :) You've got to love her outfit that day as well! It was only 58 degrees that day, but Rachel insisted on wearing a dress. So, we did Dutch-style and she wore pants under her dress. We haven't exactly started potty training yet. Maybe next week... It would be nice to not have two in diapers, but we'll just have to see how it goes.

Hey, the leggings and dress thing seem to be the style everywhere. Hayden's potty is quite the source of entertainment right now. He will only use it right before he gets in the tub. It's a start though, right? He doesn't attempt cleaning it which would be a nice alternative to his carrying around the detachable cushy seat and using it as a hat or peek-a-boo toy. Sick!
