I understand rewarding your child for completing her potty training, but why an empty bladder? Is that some sort of New England Colonial thing? Sure, she looks happy playing with it -- throwing it into the air and watching it float whistfully down like a minature paratrooper -- but why not at least inflate the darned thing so she can kick it around like a soccerball?

She sits on the potty for as long as we let her. "I need to go poopie" she'll say, regardless of the actual state of her large intestine. "I need my piv-at-see, Daddy, I need to go poopie." [Daddy is not allowed to hang around too close to the bathroom, thereby invading Amelia's piv-at-see, until she is done.] Is it true that all blogs end up with parents talking about the potty habits of their kids? Ned, are you in danger of jumping the shark? (or jumping the potty, or pooping on the shark) --JMike I like the monster in the potty :)

It is always comforting to know that others struggle with similar issue and interesting to hear how they cope. In our case, having two boys, the current issue is 'aim' or lack of it. Maybe you could work up a 'target practice' version for boys! Very cute. It is always comforting to know that others struggle with similar issue and interesting to hear how they cope.
