gender confusion

I asked if she needed to use the potty before her bath and she nodded, then yanked down her diaper, lifted the lid, faced the toilet, grabbed her crotch, and peed all over the floor.

Think she's seen B and C go one too many times?

She was perfectly willing to sit on the seat to wipe, though, giggling and proud of herself.

"Potty, Mama! Potty!" She even clapped her hands when she was done.

Minx.

I had a STRICT "no one pees standing until the boys are COMPLETELY trained" rule at my house.

My boys ALL SIT to pee.

I'm not cleaning pee off toilets, walls, floors. I swear that's why I consented to marry my husband. He sits to pee, too. Never a drop on the floor.

And I'm thinking Miss Rosey really is coming along beautifully. She is amazing!

And, after many horrid cleaning experiences,I'm with Vickee...teach all the men to sit and pee. That or they're on toilet duty for eternity!

I was so busy moving to be closer to you that I got behind in my blog reading. THIS is a hilarious story, makes me think of how I taught Jacks to get the droplets off his penis....anyway....I'm on the other side of the bay now. See you soon.
