I am not one of those "insticitive mommies". You know the ones where the moms ALWAYS understand what their child is saying when they babble.<BR/><BR/>Tiny Boy within the last six months just started to blossom with words. So I can now *understand* him, lol!<BR/><BR/>But Alan maybe ready if he is showing an intrest. My suggestion would be to just have "fun" with it for awhile. Have him sit on the potty as a "game". I remember when my oldest was in training phase, I would have her sit on the training potty while she watched her Baby Einstien Videos.<BR/> <BR/>But don't hack down on the training aspect until *you* are ready, and you know Alan is.<BR/><BR/>One thing too...you don't want to put it off too long. As I have heard that four and five year olds *like* the attention that they get during diaper changing time, and that's why they won't train.<BR/><BR/>I know it can be so daunting, lol! But I know your a good mommy! ♥ <BR/>((((hugs)))<BR/><BR/>I like the PEZ Dispenser idea! Cool! I have just been using Wilton Candy Melts, because that is what I had in the pantry, lol!Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313980535349477065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2596079868751583870.post-79114060488856884932009-02-18T17:56:00.000-06:002009-02-18T17:56:00.000-06:00You are an inspiration to me Amy.

Yogurt is not yellow. It is white.. unless you have lemon yogurt or banana. But that's not specifically "yogurt." I have asked on mutliple ocassions why.. and no one knows.<BR/>2. When Kaci was about three, there was a commercial with that song "Doncha Wish your girlfriend..." Yea great song for a three year old to know... and BAD GRAMMER on top of that!brwilliamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362839189970549790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2596079868751583870.post-65098628667646719962009-02-18T13:39:00.000-06:002009-02-18T13:39:00.000-06:00I too am always marveling at what my children pick...I too am always marveling at what my children pick up and learn on their own.

I completely agree. <BR/><BR/>We have our girls memorize one lenghthy portion of scripture a month and usually two - three poems, among other things. <BR/><BR/>And the caution for what we expose our children to...it takes no time for them to learn slang or expressions I don't care for. (Case in point: my oldest daughter saying "<I>Whatever</I>" in that sing song tone that drives me up the wall. She has heard a friend from church do this.)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139990886922103618noreply@blogger.com
