Take me out to the Ballgame
potty training...
My latest potty training experience went something like this...
child: Lexie has to go poopoo.
mommy: ok..let's go in the toy room potty.
child: mommy, get out
mommy: ok...I'll stand right outside the door. ( i kept peeping in though and she would jump off the potty to slam the door on me)
With mommy waiting outside the door I hear Lexie get off the potty. I walk in to see Lex a roo looking at the poop, then looking at me then back at the poop. Something seemed fishy and she looked guilty.
child: See? See?
mommy: you pooped! Great job, Lexie!
child: lizard
mommy: huh?
child: (pointing) Lizard in poopoo (one of her toy lizards)
mommy: (peering into the potty slowly and nervously) Lexie, how did the lizard get in the potty?
child: (extremely guilty stare at mommy)
mommy: you wait right here so mommy can go get a bag and some wipes
i leave and come back
mommy: (looking to grab the lizard but noticing the poop was rearranged) Lexie did you touch the poopoo?
child: get lizard out
mommy: oh Lord...do NOT touch anything. (Lexie lifts her hands to wipe her nose) NO...don't touch anything!!
I grab the lizard with a grocery bag, wipe Lexie's butt and hands, wash her hands in the sink and just overall feel very disgusted! I probably should have done some of those things in a different order!
