Doing the Pee Pee Dance!!
WHOOOOO HOOOOOO.
I just received the best phone call ever from my mom. She called to tell me that the B-man had gone on the potty today and that he did it all on his own! This makes two days in a row that he has taken it upon himself to try and be a “big boy” and use the potty like his big brother.
I can’t even tell you how exciting this is. The B-man just turned three in June and we have been very patient about potty training, not wanting to push him or rush him into it. I’ve been using tips (and tricks) and insights from a DVD I received from the makers of Pull-Ups – Big Kid Central Potty Training Success – and apparently it’s working!
Now I just have to keep rewarding the good behavior in hopes that he keeps it up. If anyone out there has any advice I’d love to hear it.
PS. I’ll be writing about my thoughts on the Pull-ups DVD over at Mommy Bits Reviews shortly. In the meantime, if you want a free copy you can order it through the Huggies web site.
There was a toddler who had a dog…
For the past couple of weeks the B-Man has been obsessed with singing the song B-I-N-G-O. You the know, the song about the farmer who had a dog???? He will NOT.STOP. SINGING. IT.
He sings it in the car, in he tub, in bed, on the way to Grandma’s, at the grocery store, everywhere.
Singing BINGO in the living room with his acoustic guitar.
Singing BINGO at the aquarium with a Bongo drum.
It’s super cute and I love that he sings, it’s downright adorable. I just wish I could convince him to switch it up every once in a while and throw in a “Twinkly, Twinkle” or some Wiggles tune.
Bringing Together Cincinnati Area Bloggers
On Thursday I had the opportunity to meet up with some of Cincinnati’s finest bloggers at the inaugural Cincinnati Bloggers Convention hosted by the Merchantile Library. Organized by Albert Pyle, the event was a great success with around 40 bloggers attending.
Over the course of the two hours I was there I had the opportunity to meet some of my favorite local bloggers as well as introduce myself to a few new faces. Marty even came a long and ran into a few friends who kept him busy while I mingled.
For a first time event I thought it was really well attended. Check out this list of who was there:

They are talking about making this mixer an annual event, but if a year is too long for you there are several local groups that get together monthly like New Media Cincy and the Cincinnati Women Bloggers.
