Ah!!! Do you have one of these?

Always wanting to do what ever the older ones are doing and always insisting that "I can do it! I can do it!" Bursts into tears when you "help" her with the task on hand? She used to walk herself back to the house and walk out again when we carried her out. Ditto putting on the car seat belt! Drove me nuts especially when we are in a hurry!

Well, guess what? We've had more than one of those! So I should be used to it by now, right?!

Today's incident was rather yucky though.  The latest one in potty training proclaims loudly, "I am going to pee pee!" and marches of to the loo. This is pretty much a normal occurence here. I find it really amusing that they need to proclaim to us everytime they need go to relieve themselves. They would even wake us up to tell us that they need to go move their bowels early in the morning!

Well, back to the latest incident. As I left her to pee and wipe up after herself, I went upstairs to shower. She usually knows how to leave the potty alone till I empty it of its contents. Imagine my surprise when I went to empty the potty but found it empty! And there were puddles of liquid on the floor..............

I calmly called for her and we had this conversation :

Me : Didn't you say you needed to pee?
R : Yes
Me : But why is there no pee pee in the potty?
R : Oh! I poured it into the toilet!
Me : Oh - Thank you but next time, just leave it, ok?
R : Ok! (And happily walks off to play!)

I quickly went to do a quick rinse and wash of the toilet! Ah! The things children get up to!

Later on, big brother came up to me and asked - "Mom, did you wash the toilet?" Lol! When I said "yes", he heaved a sigh of relief.

It's amazing you didnt scream in horror. I know many mothers would proceed to yell at their children after all that mess. :)

But in this case, I could see what she was trying to do. Now recently, I had someone spill oily noodle soup due to sheer carelessness and inattentiveness. Now that, I have to admit, made me see RED! So I yelled! :(
