The following is an actual conversation (if you will) that took place between Miss Thang and I yesterday evening.
Standing in front of the toilet, Miss Thang: "potty. potty. now."
Me: "Do you need to go potty?"
Miss Thang: "Mine potty"
Me: " Ok, lets go potty"
I proceed to take off her shoes, her pants, her diaper, and stick her on the toilet so she can do her business.
Instantaneously, Miss Thang: "Ah dee. Ah dee" (her version of 'all done') as she waves her hands to say all done in sign language as well.
Me: "No, you haven't gone potty yet. We'll just sit here for a few minutes, okay? Go potty."
Miss Thang shrugged her shoulders and let out a sigh.
Miss Thang: "shoes on."
Me: "You want your shoes? But you need to potty first."
Miss Thang: "Shoes on. Please. Mine potty."
Me: "You want your shoes on WHILE you potty?"
Miss Thang: "Yesh. shoes please."
*note for those of you who have made comments regarding this topic- If a child can tell you when she needs to go, and likes being a 'big girl', not only is it not forced, she's not too young. I'm not mean for letting her go potty in the toilet when she wants to. I'm not going to force her to go in diapers until she's five for for kicks.
If this offends you, stop reading my blog.
