Saturday in Shreveport, LA

Well, it's Saturday in Shreveport, LA. --- and it's HOT. The temperature is right at 100 degrees and the air is very dry. It is just too hot to take the kids out unless I absolutely have to. Since I have everything I need to get through the day -- diapers, wipes, formula, milk, juice and finger foods-- we won't be going anywhere. The kids and I will spent the day watching cartoons, playing, reading books and baking cookies. I will dedicate some time to potty training -- what great fun. I find potty training in much easier for me and the child if we use potty time as an opportunity for play time. We read books, review flash cards, and brush our teeth. I find activities such as these really help toddlers to tolerate sitting on the potty chair. Making a really big deal- like clapping and singing a silly song - when the toddler makes "pee pee" or "boo boo" helps make the toddler more excited and interested about potty time.

Here are some great potty training articles:
