Potty Training Blunders...

My daughter, Hailey, has been potty trained for almost a year now. She's a fast learner, and I'm a proud mother.

This morning, I set her in front of the TV to watch the Bee Movie...the fact that the tv is 1,000 times larger than her, making the bees 100 times larger than her, is very fascinating for a two and a half year old. Anyways, it distracts her just enough for me to enjoy my coffee and check my email before having to shut off the tv and throw a screaming, angry two year old into the shower against her will.

Back on track...This morning I had given Hailey a bowl of cheerio's and milk to eat while watching the Bee Movie. As I'm sitting down checking my email (waiting for my finals grades) I hear a trickling of water.

"NO!"

"What Mom?!"

"NO!"

"Sowwy Mommy!"

"Are you Peeing in the bowl child?!"

"Yes..."

Then there is a pause...What do I say? I was trying not to laugh...It reminded me of a time that my Dad had taken me to work with him and I had to pee very badly. There was no bathroom near by. He handed me a milk carton, and I peed...all over my legs!

So Hailey peed in a bowl. I made her clean it out herself, just as a lesson learned...or not. When she finished she brought the bowl back to me....

"I'm hungry mommy"
