Potty Training & Thanksgiving
I decided to step back in time a little bit, and do a potty training chapter.
One night after Ruby went to bed Drake was looking through some old picture and memories he had of Ruby. He chuckled when he cam across this one picture
"I can't believe I decided to potty train her during the busiest time of year" he says with a chuckle as he has a flashback
(Flashback)
Drake picked the most busiest time to try to potty train Ruby.
"Ruby since you're two I think it's time for you to use the potty like a big girl." Drake says coming into the playroom one day
"No me baby yet daddy." She says happily
"No pumpkin you don't understand since you're going to be three next year I think it's time for you to use the potty like a big girl. Daddy will even let you pick out the potty, underwear the whole nine yards." He says happily.
'Okay daddy" she says as they head to the store to pick out a potty for her.
Drake didn't realize it was two days before Thanksgiving, so the store was jam packed with people
"Here we are Ruby do you want a potty chair or a potty seat?" he asks her
"Potty seat please daddy." She says happily
She picks out two princess's potty seats one that doesn't make sounds, and one that does.
"That one that doesn't make a sound will stay at nana's" he says going to the underwear section of the store
Ruby goes full blown princess for the potty training. She picks out princess stickers for the chart Drake's going to make for her, so when she does go in to potty. She can put a princess sticker on the chart.
(Drake's house)
"Ruby I want you to play quietly while I put your potty seat and stool in your bathroom okay." He says setting her on the floor
"Okay daddy." She says happily
Drake puts the batteries in the toilet seat, and gets the bathroom all ready to begin the potty training roller coaster.
"Ruby can you come to your bedroom please?" he asks calling to her
"Coming daddy" she says getting up and going to her room
Drake takes the diaper off of her, and puts her big girl panties on her. After he took her to the kitchen for some juice to see if she needed to go potty
"Here we go sweetie here's your grape juice." He says handing her sippy cup
"Thank you daddy." She says as she drinks her juice
After she finished her juice. Drake took her to the bathroom to see if she had to go pee.
"Daddy it looks scary." She says holding on to his hand
'It may be scary at first, but after time it won't be so scary. I'll even let you hold Ms. Cuddles your stuffed monkey." He says grabbing her favorite stuffed monkey.
Ruby slowly creeps up to the toilet and Drake helps her up the step stool, and pulls down her pants, so she can sit on the potty
"Luckily daddy picked up some books to read to you as we wait." He says grabbing a potty training book from the shelf.
Drake reads to her until they hear that magical sound from Ruby's potty seat
"Ruby you went potty." Drake says excitedly
"I did daddy" she says excitedly
"Okay stand up for me, so we can pull up your pants." He tells her after he got up from the bathroom floor.
Drake shows her how to flush the toilet after she went.
"It's loud daddy." She says hanging onto him
"I know but you will get used to it after a while." He says helping her wash her hands.
"Since you used the potty you get a sticker on your chart, and once you fill up a whole row you get a treat." He tells her
"Okay." She says sticking her first sticker on her chart.
(Thanksgiving)
Since Ruby started potty training she have had some hiccups where she needed to go, but forgot and she ended up going in her underwear. Which wasn't, fun
"Ruby how many times have I told you when you need to use the potty go don't go in your underwear." Drake says to her
"I'm afraid of the potty, and it will eat me." She says crying
"Sweetie it won't eat you. How about when you need to go you can come tell me and I can bring you to the potty for a while until you get over this?" he asks her
"Okay daddy." She says with a sniffle
(Later that day)
"Ruby come on we are going to be late to nana's for Thanksgiving." He calls to her as he carries the dish that he made for Thanksgiving
"Coming daddy" she calls coming from her room
"Sweetie before we go do you need to use the potty?" he asks her
She nods
"Okay pit stop" he says taking her to the bathroom
Drake was proud of Ruby she went potty twice and that earned her two stickers for her chart.
"Good job Ruby let's head to nana's" he says as they leave
(Nana's}
"Happy Thanksgiving mom" Drake says when he enters the house
"Happy Thanksgiving Drake." He mom says taking the desert that he brought for everyone
"Hey munchkin" Josh says picking Ruby up
"Hi Uncle Josh she says happily
"She's learning how to use the potty like a big girl." Drake says interrupting the bond
"That's great how's she doing?" Josh asks putting Ruby down
"Right now so-so" Drake says
"Why?" Josh says
'We have had some hiccups in the road where she hasn't been going quite as often" Drake says in a whisper
"Oh it looks like she has to go again." Josh says when he sees Ruby do the potty dance
"Luckily I brought a spare potty seat with me." Drake says taking Ruby to the bathroom
Ruby went by herself with Drake standing by just in case she needed help.
"Good girl now flush and wash your hands.' Drake says helping her with that part.
Ruby was all better after she went to the potty all by herself.
"For that Ruby you can put a sticker on your chart that nana has been keeping for you when you come to her house" Drake says taking her to her potty training chart that nana has at her house
Ruby puts her sticker on and goes plays until dinner is ready. Ruby ate everything on her plate, and after the meal she had to go.
"Daddy I have to go potty bad." She tells Drake
"Okay honey" he says taking her to the bathroom
Like back at the house she ends up going twice which Drake was relieve that she is finally getting used to the potty after two days of being afraid of it.
"That's my girl I'm so proud of you" he says hugging her
"Thank you daddy." She says hugging him back
(End of flashback)
Drake couldn't believe that little Ruby was ever scared of the potty, and now he looks ahead and hopes that Ruby can help her little sister overcome the fear of the potty
