Take Sammy Trick-or-Treating
Posted by Amy on October 13, 2008
Yes, we love candy but it doesn’t hurt to surprise your little goblin with something sweet that won’t give them cavities.
This is Sammy.
Look, he has a front pocket, perfect for a night of trick-or-treating! Sammy’s creator is Tara of Tara Ross Studios, over at Etsy. Stop by and check out her work when you have a chance.

Potty training is the pits
Posted by Amy on September 3, 2008
Especially when your thirty-four and a half month old is extremely strong-willed and independent. Seriously. This potty training thing is just getting old. Our conversations go something like this:
Me: “Are you ready for a change?”
Hailey: “Nope”
Me: (Looking her straight in the eyes) “Are you sure you don’t want mommy to put a brand new, clean diaper on you?”
Hailey: (As she pats her backside, very matter-of-factly) “Nope. It stays in my diapee.”
Me: (Shrugging) “Alright, sister. It’s all you.”
and like this:
Me: “Uh oh! This is your LAST diaper! We’re all out of diapers”
Hailey: “We are?” (concerned)
Me: “Yep. No more diapers.” (thrilled)
Hailey: “But there’s some in that basket over there.”
Me: “Nope. I just used the LAST one.”
Hailey: “But there’s some downstairs.”
Me: “Nope. There isn’t.”
Hailey: “But there’s more at the store. We can get some after Traci’s house.” (Traci is the sitter)
I bribe her all of the time. Currently, I’m using the “You can’t take a ballerina class unless you’re wearing big girl pants.” That makes her stop and think but then, nothing happens. Eric has even resorted to writing “special” potty songs and only singing them if she sits on the potty. They’re generally only played once. Maybe we could bribe her with this:
Or will that just give her the wrong idea, that she should play with her pee and poo? Oh well. They’re cute anyway. You can get them HERE at the Pee and Poo Shop. Does it gross you out? Not me. I’m a mom.
