Potty Pals

I think we would all agree that going to the bathroom is a very personal thing. Though there are times that it must be done in public, sitting in a stall right next to someone, being in a restroom without a door on the stall, squatting in a bush on special occasions, no matter what, it is still one of the most personal things we do each and every day.
Ones relationship with a toilet, potty, lavatory, crapper, john, throne, whatever you call it, is a very special thing. No matter your gender or age, their is certain bond and trust that is built between a person and their potty.

This is the relationship building that is taking place in our home at the moment. Though Makenna is not quite ready to embrace the whole charade of potty training, she is working on that oh so important bond that is crucial to potty success.
And so far the potty has been well received. Makenna enjoys her potty very much. She sits on her potty while others go potty. She watches cartoons on her potty, reads on her potty, plays with her dolls on her potty, sits outside on the potty, even talks on the phone on her potty.
I am so proud of Makenna and feel that she is building a life long friendship that will greatly benefit her every day of her life.
