I don't have to tell parents with small children about the joys of potty training. A conversation with Thing 3 while she's sitting on the toilet:
August 9, 2010
"Good job, Brookie," I said. "You're going poop!"
"Yay, I did it! I done," Brooke replied.
"Now, you need to go pee-pee. Everyone goes pee-pee after they poop."
"No, I don't have to. Pee-pee isn't here."
So I cupped my hand around my ear and said, "Let's see if we hear pee-pee. Hmm, I don't hear pee-pee yet. Try again."
She gave me this irritated, exasperated look and said, "Ma, I TOLD YOU, pee-pee not here. Pee-pee is working. She's working on the computer. Pee-pee doesn't work with poo. I DONE!"
So, wiping commenced and she asked if she could flush the toilet. I told her to proceed.
And then she started wailing, "MO-ooom, I want poo-poo back. He's my friend."
"Yay, I did it! I done," Brooke replied.
"Now, you need to go pee-pee. Everyone goes pee-pee after they poop."
"No, I don't have to. Pee-pee isn't here."
