From Monday thru Wednesday, our house resembled a nudist colony.
Grunt Labor is potty training the circus and the book I bought him for this says to keep your kid naked for the first few days.
Yes, I said Grunt Labor is training her. I know I have no patience for this so I’m just trying to be as supportive as possible.
I did buy him the book.
That counts for something, right?
So for three days, there was a circus streaking through our house.

On day two, we couldn’t keep her inside any longer.
So we, along with her portable princess potty, went on the porch.
And she streaked on the front porch for all the neighbors to see and used the potty out there too.
There’s no doubt in my mind that they are working to get us evicted from the neighborhood as I type.
We still aren’t completely potty trained, but we are kinda sorta maybe getting there.
In other words, send up prayers, more reinforcements if possible, and definitely more cheap beer.
In case you were wondering, it is possible for a small child and a 30 year old woman to fit in a bicycle trailer.
I really wanted my own juice box as well so that we could get even crazier looks than we were already getting.
Furthermore, with his superhero strength, Grunt Labor even pulled the circus and I behind the bike.
You can see that video here.
We did all this while on vacation last week. I’m really hoping they let us come back again…
The inventor of the pink plastic flamingo, Donald Featherstone, died this week.
In his honor, here are a few of my favorite flamingo projects.
diy flamingo sprinkler / flamingo planters / diy flamingo croquet set / flamingo wreath
We raise our pink flamingos high in salute to you, Donald, and your brilliance.
If you need a little color blocked goodness in your life, I’ve got a new color-blocked coffee table project for ya….

Honestly I never trained my kids either. My second was born when my first was almost 3 yrs old so I wasn’t fighting that battle just for him to regress…that’s what everyone was telling me would happen…but the week before she was born he just decided he was done with diapers and that was that! My daughter also just decided when she was ready and again, that was that! I figure we have enuf to make ourselves crazy about why add something else…circus will get it in her own time!
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Preach on, Sister!! That’s what I’m thinking!
frank says
Yep, that’s what we did, too.
Karen says
Jenna….does this method work for boys?
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
I don’t know, Karen. I think so…..

Been there done that! I hated the potty training time! Both of my kids were a nightmare. Hope you have better luck. You have a really great hubby. I was just lucky if the ex- would change a diaper. We used cloth ones back then.
Hope williams says
Yes and yes on the being supportive! You did buy him the book and that does count! lol I’m hearing you on the potty training thing. When we fostered for the state, all ages came to us in various states of un-potty-ness! It can get down right gag worthy to potty train an 8 or 10 year old. Not fun or pleasant! So supportive she shall be!
P.S. I too still fit in the bicycle trailer too! And yes, I am happy happy happy about that fact! Now quick question, can I do it naked for three days too? lol
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
hahahahahahaha!!! Oh Hope, you crack me up!!
