My Little Thug Bunny
Ok. It's Sunday morning. We are going to get back on track with this potty training. Saturday wasn't very successful. She peed on the floor twice but I have faith we will do better today. We spend the morning Skyping with Grandpa Francis and Judy. Ava takes her clothes and pull-up off and goes to the potty all on her own! I'm so excited. She doesn't want clothes on and she does better without them on so I decide to just go with it. Later I notice she needs to go potty again. I ask her and she say's no. We say our goodbyes too Grandpa and Judy.
I turn my back on Ava for just a minute to check on Sophia. I hear this splashing noise. She is playing with water on the end table next to my recliner. It is everywhere, on the recliner, on the floor, on my kindle cover, my running magazines. I walk up and ask, "Ava where did this water come from?" I'm looking for my glass on the floor wondering where she put it and then discover that this water is warm. I'm thinking to myself: YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FREAKING KIDDING ME!!!! MY DAUGHTER JUST PISSED ON MY END TABLE!!! WHAT THE...!!! Calmly I ask, "Ava did you pee on the end table?" She looks at me, smiles and says "Yes." AHHHHHHHH!!!!! Ava 1,001 points - Mommy a big fat ZERO. So I calmly clean the floor, recliner, end table, kindle cover (I will be ordering a new cover) and remotes. I throw out the magazines. I am furious but whole time I'm finding it extremely hard not to laugh. This will only encourage her. Who's kid pees on the end table? Mine. Maybe I have already lost my mind.
What do I do? Do I give up and put diapers back on? I do the smart thing and look to my 2 year old for guidance. (last sentence is dripping with sarcasm) I ask Ava if she likes wearing diapers. She says no. I ask her if she wants to wear big girl pants. She says yes. Ok. We have a discussion about how to be a big girl and then go upstairs to pick out big girl pants. I am very afraid I have met my match. In the end I know I will win this but I also know it will be on her terms. Till then...wish me luck. I'm going to need it.
That is hilarious. Sorry to hear our good laugh resulted in such an expensive day for you. One time my friend told me she heard water trickling in her daughter's room in the middle of the night. She walked in to find her daughter sitting and peeing in a coffee can in her closet. Kids are crazy. Oh and once when Max was little, I found him peeing in the cabinet under the bathroom sink. They are fun. We miss you guys and love to get to see you here.
