PMN Fam Pics Series 2 : Potted

Potted....the theme for this month's family picture submission really had me stumped. Instinctively, the first thing that came to mind was a plant in a pot. But I'm not a big plant person so I figured that would be too fake of me to submit that.

So I thought, potty. Great, I could submit photos of my kids while they were in the potty. I looked through our albums and I came up with nothing. In hindsight, how bad of me not to have taken any photos of my kids doing their potty training. Even for posterity's sake. Tsk, tsk.

Then it hit me, I think my Mom had some photos stashed of me and my siblings doing the potty. Fantastic!! So, armed with my dust mask, off I went to my Moms "bodega" to search for the elusive "potted" picture.

Lo and behold, I came up with not 1 but 4 wonderful pictures of an era long gone.

Me with my Lolo

Me, reading while doing my potty duty


Me and my Dad (reading what must have been an interesting book)

Me being...Me!!

Update :

Here's the list of all the other PMN Moms who participated in this month's "potted" pics search.

Heart of Rachel said...

Hi Cookie. Thanks for sharing these cute photos. It's nice that you have these amuzing keepsakes.

Come to think of it, I don't think I have photos taken during my potty training days but I was able to take some of my son during his time.

I will post mine tonight.

TeacherJulie said...

Nice photos! With matching reading a book pa, LOL!

Thanks for letting us in down memory lane.

Take care!

karen said...

gusto ko nga rin sana mag-join pero wala rin akong "potted" pic. i'll keep on looking. =)

Lynn said...

Hi Cookie! From the pictures, it seemed there was no need for potty training. Mukang at home na at home ka naman sa 'trono'. Haha! I like the picture with your dad, nice expressions on your faces.

chelsea said...

i like the 3rd photo. maangas! hehe. nagbabasa habang nasa trono :P

Analyse said...

hehe, kunti na lang, kamukha na ng potty chair mo yung potty chair ni louna.. and what's with reading and doing the potty at the same time? hehe..

psst, sorry ha, see you next time im there, promise ;)

Senor Enrique said...

HOw cute! Lucky you have some of your childhood pics stashed away somewhere :)

ScroochChronicles said...

Hi Wenchie!! I was not only a daddy's girl, I was a Lolo's girl too. It pays to be the first born daughter and the first born apo. Kaya ayan, pati pag-potty ko nakabantay sila :)

Don't forget to submit, you have until Wednesday :)

ScroochChronicles said...

Hi Verns!! Wow, I'm dyahe naman for being called cute...pero sige, pagbigyan kita, just this once..hehehe. Ang kapal ko no :)

BTW, I still read while doing the potty thing..hehehe :)

ScroochChronicles said...

Hi Feng!! Good thing hindi ko pa naiintindahan na kinukunan ako ng nanay ko or else those pics wouldn't exist :)

May time ka pang maghanap ng pics. The deadline has been extended to Wednesday. Happy searching :)

ScroochChronicles said...

Hi Rachel!! Just saw your post, loved it!! Yohan can really flash a wonderful smile :)

Me naman I wasn't able to take pics of my kids during potty training. Everything else meron except for this...sayang!

ScroochChronicles said...

Hi Julie!! Well, as we all know, the banyo and a good read go hand in hand. Di ba :)

Come to think of it, my kids are learning to read in the potty too :)

ScroochChronicles said...

Hi Karen!! Ay naku, yun Lolo ko napaka-supportive nyan. Maybe because I was his favorite apo. Tuloy pati pag-uu ko pinapakialaman niya :)

Please join!! You have time pa :)

ScroochChronicles said...

Hi Lynn!! You said it right, I am so at home sa trono. Today!! Hahaha!! Must have been in the training. Kasi naman, tignan mo naman ang mga nag-train sa akin :)

ScroochChronicles said...

Hi Chelsea!! Well, the "maangas" look is a trademark of my dad's side of the family. BTW, they also used to call me Bratinella so I guess it follows :)

ScroochChronicles said...

Hi Ana!! Nagtra-training na ba si Louna? Give her a good book and you'll find that she will enjoy her training more. I can speak from experience. Eto nga, hanggang ngayon dala-dala ko pa yan sa pagtanda. Hindi nga lang storybook ang binabasa ko ngayon :)

Don't worry about our botched plans, may next time pa naman :)

ScroochChronicles said...

Hi Senor!! My mother was the original shutterbug in the family. Of course, hers was the unbeatable Kodak Instamatic with the flash that looked like an ice-cube :)

I think I got my paparazzi tendencies from her too :)

lady cess said...

ay sobrang nakakatuwa ang fam pics na to ! may palibro-libro pa ha? parang wala sa trono :)

ScroochChronicles said...

Hi Cess!! Bagay naman di ba? Actually, I had such fun looking for these pics. I had to go through some of my old albums and reminisce. Glad you liked it :)

Mitch said...

Ay grabe ang cute hihihi! Nakatago pa talaga huh!

JO said...

raqgold said...

Sherra said...

This is a very cute entry Cookie! Now, I have to be armed with my camera when my kids do their thing. It's really nice to reminisce this milestone!

ScroochChronicles said...

Hi Mitch!! Thanks, sis! Glad you liked it :)

ScroochChronicles said...

Hi Jo!! It's my Mom who is the wiz at keeping all our mementos. She even kept some of our kindergarten art work!! Galing niya noh :)

ScroochChronicles said...

Hi Raquel!! Cutie? Aww shucks....thanks :)

ScroochChronicles said...

Hi Sherra!! From one mom to another, yes...yes..yes!! Have that camera always ready to take pictures of your kids!! You'll never know when a good photo-op will pop up :)

auee said...

way cool :-)
I was going to say your kids might strangle you if they find out their potty sessions' on the Net hehe

Good take on being "potted" haha

MyGoodFinds said...

Nice one! It's definitely a pot(ty). :)
I was Looking for a similar photo but couldn't quite find it. Take care.
Tina

ScroochChronicles said...

Hi Auee!! Well, since I consciously posted my own "potty" pics, I don't think it would be fair if I strangled my mom. Right?

ScroochChronicles said...

Hi Tina!! I liked your take as well. You have such a lovely princess :)

Toni said...

I like your approached to "Potted" ha! :D

ScroochChronicles said...

Hi Toni!! Di na nahiya ano :)
