There have been so many new things in the last few weeks for this branch of the Mathiesen tree. Lots of new things, new colors and a new home (still the rental place of Tim's Granparents). The not new bummer is that there haven't been any bites on our house yet. grrr.
There's also another new "thing" in our new home. The screwdriver is comically pointing (totally by chance - I didn't notice it until I was writing this) to Ellie's diaper free toosh. It's been 3 days and we think she's got the hang of it already! Still an accident or two if she's playing hard but cold turkey is the way to go!
Here's her Elmo potty. Cute, right? NO. There's a button on the front that says things like, "You're growing up just like Elmo" and "Good Job" and "You used the potty." So the first day all she wanted to do was pushed the stupid button and I couldn't get her to even consider going potty. Now when she sits her leg holds it down and it repeats a saying until she moves her leg. OBNOXIOUS. Next time around NONE of our toys (including the potty) will have batteries. The next child will have silent toys.
