We're working on potty training, so we've been talking to the girl about pee-pee and poo-poo.

Also, I've been working with her on using combination words, or two words to describe one object. Getting more specific about how to describe things.

Well, I can see that she is working on these concepts. At breakfast, Mama asked her if she wanted another pancake, and she replied:

"Pancake? Pee-cake! ... Poo-cake."

Ahh... good times, good times...

Everyone Poops.

We have been facing the daunting task of pottytraining LittleFerret. We got a "Once Upon a Potty (for Girls)" DVD (recommended by many friends) and she's been watching it. At the beginning, the viewer is introduced to Prudence, who is the cartoon star of the show, and she then shows you her several parts (eyes to see, a mouth to eat and talk, etc) and the parts identification ends with her facing away from viewer, bending over and grasping ankles to show "a little hole for poo-poo."

LittleFerret has been demonstrating that last part and saying "a little hole for poo-poo."
