Sometimes, they’re she’s the life of the party. You have to allow her to do what she wants and chalk it up as “learning”. How else is an extremely adorable (and chatty) toddler supposed to find out what works?
As you can see here, Baby Singe likes to sit on things. This picture was taken a couple weeks ago following her black-eyed peas incident. I know this because the purple rug in her room is mysteriously absent. There’s an accompanying video for this classic picture, but it’s sort of R rated. My wife and I can be heard giggling uncontrollably (not RFLMAO) because of immature jokes I made regarding “golden showers” and the inappropriate nature of said video.
Shortly after this picture was taken, she removed the diaper from her little body. From there she attempted to get back in her baby doll’s tub. Five minutes later she nestled into the corner and squatted. Her first public pee. A day later we bought a potty seat and it’s currently stationed in the bathroom. Now, I just need to teach her how to text message.
*NMJC – text speak for Not Much, Just Chillin’. Used by texting teenyboppers to answer the age old question of “what are you doing?”
Ah..potty training. I wonder if its easier to train a girl or a boy. I’m up to the stage of doing target practice with Aaron
She’s too cute!
Is it bad that I knew what NMJC meant? I mean, not because I use it. Oh, heck no.
I am soooo not ready for potty training. When do you even know when to start? I guess when they start to try to sit on their little doll bathtubs and pee? I don’t know. But way to go, Anna. She’s obviously a genius.
Also, you’re back on Facebook?
i peed just like that at work this morning
Yeah – if she’s able to take off her own diaper then it’s definitely time for the pot.
And that video you took? Excellent blackmail material when Anna grows up. Not that you’d ever do that, of course. I’m just saying.
isn’t it ridiculous how funny peeing can be?
HA! Obviously, she’s ready, and she’s letting you know it!
I know adults who behave the same way after one too many, but they aren’t nearly as cute.
That;’s great that she’s letting you know what she’s ready for. It will be so much easier when she can use her words better.
Such a cute picture!
look at her hair!!!!!!
You’re still a texting teenybopper? I never would have guessed.
Best of luck with the potty training.
Did she learn the peeing in the tub thing from you? haha
Cute!
Amanda – with a boy, it’s a lifelong process on how to hit the toilet. I wish I was kidding, but sadly I’m not.
Justrun – not bad at all, just shows how extra hip you are. Go with your bad self.
Christina – yes, I’m back on Facebook. My goal was a month, but I got forced back online earlier than expected. Rumor has it they aren’t to be potty trained until they can take their clothes off by themself and they express a desire to go. Baby Singe is starting to find corners in our house where she turns all sorts of red while grunting.
FuriousBall – oh really. Does this impress the coworkers?
SM – glad you got to see the video. It’s priceless. I love that little girl of ours.
Lora – yeah, or even the events leading up to the big event. I think the anticipation is awesome. Sounds like I’m talking about something else, but I’m not.
Rachel – you better believe it. She’s practicing a lot these days. I have to discourage her from flushing the toilet. I’m a water miser.
Ms. Chica – one too many beers or pieces of string cheese? When she gets in the zone, it’s as if her parents cease to exist.
Churlita – I’m sure having words at her disposal will help, although I must say it’s very easy to tell when she’s “in the mood”.
Essentially Me – thanks, such a great little kid she is. (damn that Yoda-speak)
Brookem – she has a ton of hair now, we might have to cut it.
Gwen – how did you know? I haven’t matured in the least bit have I? Texting is the way to go unless it’s international and that’s just dumb because it’s ridiculously expensive to do that stuff.
JLee – I have to give you credit, you’re a sharp cookie. Someone’s paying attention.
Pants – stop complimenting yourself!
Why are you texting teenyboppers? Is an ankle bracelet arriving soon?
Thank god you define those acronyms in your posts – I feel so hip and educated after reading them, and then I spend the rest of the day trying to find ways to use them in sentences. It’s sad, really.
My friends have a daughter who would squat in corners. They finally accepted the fact that for now the potty seat should be somewhere other than the bathroom. Just so she can get used to the idea of it and all. Because they’re tired of cleaning up after her and the cats and dog.
This pic is priceless….I am not so sure she’ll love her notariety on the WWW when she’s 16 tho…
don’t cut the hair…it’s so cute! it’s there so you guys can have putting little hair ornaments and whatnot in it…enjoy it while you can, before you know it she’ll be wanting to get a mohawk or dye it purple or something equally artistic…
