What key terms do you use with your toddler regarding pottying?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

We are about to start potty training our 2 year old and I'm coming up with a game plan (books, fun undies, etc).  I think I need to be prepared with some key phrases that I repeat over and over and it dawned on me that I'm not sure how to say where her potty is coming from.  We are quite frank about body parts and functions and she knows her bottom and her vagina...but you don't exactly pee out of your vagina, ha ha!  What word do you use?  I want to say sometihng that makes sense as she gets older and learns about her body parts but I don't want to make up a name for her lady parts by calling it her "pee-pee" or something like that.  I know I might be over-thinking this, but it's kind of my style to over prepare for things. *shrugs*

 

What's your bathroom vocabulary?

I've always referred to my dd's private parts as her ''chee-chee'' I'm not even exactly sure where I picked it up, but it's always been that. The toilet is the ''potty''. For example, ''okay lets go sit on the potty and go pee-pee.'' After she was finished, and all the praising for going pee like a big girl was over I would move onto ''okay, now we have to wipe your chee-chee, here's some toilet paper.'' That was at  years old.
