We limit fluids while we run errands so she usually doesn't go potty again until we get back home. She was really easy to potty train (I just had to wait longer to train her than I wanted)but it worked out. I agree that a portable potty is a must for road trips or a park where there are no restrooms near. BTW - Ivy is so stinkin' cute chilling in the water on her tummy.Brooke and Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12353200211714368899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31349046.post-28010675297768923382008-04-23T16:18:00.000-10:002008-04-23T16:18:00.000-10:00Love the cute little model for your cute shirts.Love the cute little model for your cute shirts.McLovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735610613304152217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31349046.post-55935653765542544412008-04-23T15:53:00.000-10:002008-04-23T15:53:00.000-10:00Way to go Velz!!!Way to go Velz!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31349046.post-52954902630972054092008-04-23T12:24:00.000-10:002008-04-23T12:24:00.000-10:00ashley-thank you for your sincere apology. i feel ...ashley-<BR/>thank you for your sincere apology. i feel the need to apologize as well, and use the same "it was late" excuse. as someone who works with children who have special needs, that word is like fingernails on a chalkboard, especially when used as an insult. it had been a long day, and i took my stress out on your blog in response to your comment on kelly's. :( i'm sorry. <BR/><BR/>now, as for kelly's blog...i'm an avid reader and supporter, and i didn't even catch her post on politics. all i caught were the comments afterward. "sarah b" is probably a fairly common name. i wish i had caught kelly's post because i'm betting i would have agreed with much of what she said. <BR/><BR/>and i don't have a blog. :/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31349046.post-37744171650973564602008-04-22T18:47:00.000-10:002008-04-22T18:47:00.000-10:00Great new motto!

Everywhere like outside, park, car, long walks, beach. Seriously, I've potty-trained 4 girls with the youngest being 3 yrs. It works, it helps them have confidence, it saves your butt when they are in the "I have to go right this very second" mode, and I have LOVED it!! Try it.....you'll fall in love too :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
