She's a toddler. Now What? Join me as I navigate the daily joys and challenges of raising a precocious toddler.
Hi Raising Reagan readers! I’m so excited that Lanaya is allowing me to take over her blog and share my experience with potty training my son. Just to clarify my story I have a 3 year old son that we nicknamed Bear. I tend to call him Little Bear and that is how he is known on my blog. Didn’t want you to get confused and think I was potty training a real bear. I started potty training Little Bear when {Read More}
Proud Mama right here! Reagan is 99% potty trained! She is one month past her second birthday! We became very diligent about putting her in “big girl panties” and bribing her with M&M’s. Honestly I wasn’t sure I was going to survive the potty training stage. Yeah, yeah…lucky right? She’s two and some parents have a really hard time in that department.

It’s stickers all day {Read More}
This morning on the way to Reagan’s daycare Reagan informed me that Elmo’s going potty. What? I turned around and looked and she had her Elmo doll crouched over the cup holder on her carseat. It was one of the funniest things I had seen. She was making Elmo go potty, in the cup holder no less. All I could do was smile and laugh and say “Good job Elmo.” Reagan is in her second month of potty training. As {Read More}
At what point do most parents just throw their hands up and say “FINE! Just pee in your diaper!?” That’s me today. I am SO OVER POTTY TRAINING! I honestly am not sure I am going to survive this stage. Unfortunately for me I am a perfectionist and would rather do everything myself but this is one thing I cannot control. I can attempt to manipulate every direction but it’s not up to me. It’s up to Reagan and that {Read More}
