Toilet Training Week Two

Monday night we moved the Litter Kwitter onto the toilet. Something that I have learned from this process is that Gizmo is self-conscious. She doesn't like it when I take her picture while she's on the potty.


She seems to have no problems at all doing her business on the toilet, which makes me encouraged and also eager to move on to the next phase. I am hesitant though, because I know the next phase is a lot of work for all of us. First, Gizmo has to start getting her duty into the center of the ring because that's the spot that will empty into the toilet. Second, she has to start getting used to not having so much litter. Gizmo loves her litter. She also likes to bury things. She buries her food after she eats, she buries her poofs after she chases them down, and she also buries the food that Michael and I consume. She spends a lot of time in her potty box digging around and finding a good spot for her stuff. Once we start the next phase, she has to start going in one spot, and it has no litter. This will be a challenge. 

So far, so good on the potty training front. I will report back next week on whether or not we moved to phase 2.
