Potty Party

3/24/2012

Two of the most wonderful words any parent can hear from a child who's potty training are "I'm Done!"  That feeling of success, that pride and accomplishment.  There's something about going potty like a big kid, that makes one swell with pride.  They say potty training is different with boys than with girls.  Our little girl is almost there as a new three year old.  Some people scoff at this saying that she should have been trained months ago.  We, on the other hand, are giddy.  Our three boys were pretty close to looking at getting their drivers' licenses before they were out of pull-ups.  Before we had kids I was always against bribing with food or treats.  I was a firm believer that children needed routine and consistency.  Then we HAD kids.  When our first son came around, it got to the point where we all but offered him a pony just to get him to use the bathroom.  Our second son was even harder.  The only way he would go "potty" was if he stripped down to nothing at all.  We figured, "Whatever works."  That's fine until you get a call on the first day of preschool because your child is walking around the classroom buck naked saying, "I'm DONE!"
  When our little girl is finally potty trained I don't even know what we'll do.  It will be so strange to get in the car for the first time in years without a diaper bag.  No messy wipes, no sudden fragrant smells wafting through the car.  I think I might sit for a minute just to take it all in.  Then I'll look at my husband with a big smile on my face and say, "We're Done!"

You're done with having kids? hehehe. We got away with just awarding her with stickers to put on the calendar when she went #2. She got a prize and we got to track how often she went, which is not often even to this day. We have to give her prunes sometimes. It's like I am at the nursing home with my 5 year old.

For achieving the high goals about technologies we must do something serious and adopt the skills and steps for this purpose. We need for this purpose good and effective technical schools that provide high efficient study and advance technical skills to their students; and make them best and active technicians for the nation
