stephon is feeling sad that elise isn't going to be his baby, anymore... stephon is feeling very happy that he may be done changing elise's nauseating diapers!
so here's a list of supplies that are helpful in potty training. some of these are in every potty training book out there, some i have figured out through trial and error with shelby and elise.
i thought it was important for elise to pick these things out so she would be excited about them:
- potty seat
- stickers for her success chart
- a favorite toy and a book each time we sat on the potty
- large t-shirts
- i used nathan's old t-shirts so she wasn't cold and since i use them to protect their clothes from stains, they are perfect for pitching if elise has an out of control accident!
- success chart
- i printed one from the learning curve website that matched her potty seat
- juice and / or a cup that she is excited to drink out of
- this gave me lots of practice cleaning up pee today, but in theory, it will give her lots of practice making it to the potty later...
- diapers for night time
- pull-ups for nap time
- a warm house!
- this was a good excuse to run my fireplace so elise wouldn't be cold since she apparently prefers to be naked.
- cheap toilet paper
- i know this sounds odd, but elise likes to drop in squares of toilet paper. while i believe the cost of toilet paper is well worth keeping her on the potty, why waste the good stuff!?
- rags large enough to clean up accidents
- disinfectant wipes
- trash bag to put between the high chair and the chair it's attached to
