Evelyn has used the toilet three times since Sunday. I am so surprised and bemused. It’s nothing we’ve really urged her toward.

Her favourite words of the moment are ‘Dada,’ ‘dad,’ ‘a-boom,’ and ‘bob.’ Nathanael really would like to know who Bob is. I have no idea.

Her favourite foods are plain gross rice cereal, celery sticks, banana oatmeal, and breadsticks with marinara sauce. Doesn’t like juice or pureed fruits much. Strange tastes.

Likes her new toddler tub. Her splashes confound her.

Gets up at 5 AM everyday and wants to party. It’s rough.

We can’t wait to see that little one!

Just this morning I had Jessica
trying to go… “I said, Evelyn does it”

See you soon!

wait, how old is she? how does she get on the toilet? i’m confused…i thought she was itty bitty.

Yeah, that was my question. Do you bring her there? Does she crawl there? Does she rip off her diaper? :-) I mean, I saw those Mardi Gras pics, but sheesh.

As soon as I see that look of constip… consternation on her face, I take her to the toilet. It has me wondering though - which uses less water, the toilet flush or my hosing off her soiled diapers when she doesn’t make it to the toilet?

Yeah, if we can tell she needs to go we take her there. She actually really likes it, and laughs and smiles inbetween um, instances. Must be a lot easier than sitting on the floor in a diaper.

Well, today I’m working on refinishing and painting of our high-chair for Evelyn’s arrival. I don’t have any plans for a potty chair!

Heh. I thought she needed to go today, but the porcelain was so cold that she started screaming and fighting. It took her a good ten minutes to calm down.

I don’t even know what to say, except if it works let us know. Maybe you will have only one in diapers. The whole situation kind of weirds me out. MMW

Have a great trip! I found it wasn’t too bad with a baby and preg on the plane. People are usually just too in awe of you to actually say anything mean.

So anyway that tobacco was amazing!! Fragrant, almost perfumy, and so mild. I loved it. I almost deleted your comment on my site b/c my little sisters probably have no idea i’m an occasional tobacco user!! but, so far I decided to leave it on there…

I hear you on the 5 am partying. At least you can confine her to a crib. Yeah.

I have a pack of cigarettes from Sarajevo here.

Oh oh oh Sarajevooooooo

That’s my song.

Yes, I will be very interested in following this method of potty training, as I have no idea how I’ll approach it when Kyrie gets to that stage. Keep us updated.
