September 1, 2008 --A week into our official potty training, and I’m very pleased to say Anna is doing amazing. While she’s had a couple of accidents at day care, we’ve had ZERO accidents at home and about. Particularly amazing was that this was in the middle of a busy holiday weekend. Between visits to the park, Ryan’s birthday party, the Tribal Pow wow at the lake, and a downtown parade, we were away from public restrooms for much of the weekend. Luckily, with a little planning and a lot of luck, Anna kept her Elmos dry.
Obviously after a weekend like this, a bath was in order. Anna has an octopus faucet cover. While this was purchased as a safety device, Anna knows how to remove it and has adopted it as a pet. In fact, she often tells me that he needs a diaper change (probably because water splashes out of his tentacles when the water is on, looking perhaps like he’s....well, you know.) Tonight she took her washcloth and wrapped it around him, holding him close and patting his back to put him to sleep. Then she told me her “octopus is laughing.” Well, I’m glad to see she has plenty of imagination as well as maternal instincts.
