I am taking a break from posting about the loss to share my recent experiences with my toddler. We don't just teach our children, but if we are open enough, we also learn from them. Here is what I've learned from my kid while going through the joy of potty training.
The only way to open a bathroom door is by forcing it to slam into the wall behind it. Yes, hinge door stops are on there, but are predictably broken.
One can only use the toilet if all articles of clothing beneath the waist are removed.
Stickers are lame; all toddlers will piss for candy.
At some point, the toddler will pretend to pee and/or poop in order to obtain more candy.
Toddlers are only constipated until wearing cotton underwear and playing outside.
Exuberant praise will be reciprocated! If the toddler discovers mommy on the toilet (i.e., barges into the bathroom) while she is pooping, it is normal to hear a "yay momma!!" in response to the Number 2 activity.
One must contort oneself into a position to peer through her legs to observe urination and/or defecation, regardless of where the stream of urine ends up in the process.
And finally, farts are still, and always will be, funny.
Until next time...tschus.
