“Sam, can I have a kiss?”

(blank stare)

“Sam, headbutt?”

Sophia has been partially potty trained for months. It was a very easy process.  She pees in her little potty with reckless abandoned.  The training for going #2 has been a bit more difficult.  She knows when she has to go, requests a diaper, and skips off to the bathroom to do her duty.  (Ha. I said duty).  Nothing could convince her to do it any other way.  We tried it all.  You see, she could not abide the splash back.  Who am I to argue with that?

Our pediatrician said this type of behavior normal and it was a battle not worth fighting.  Sophia would, on her own watch, move to the toilet.

The time has come.  She is a maniac.  This message was left for me today.

Voice Mail from Sophia

Rob (exiting the bathroom after giving Sophia her bath):

“Honey, I think there is a message for you in the bathroom.”

Sophia is currently noticing body parts. The other day she made this profound statement, “I love small penises”.

Eh-hem.

Sophia (3 years) to Sam (11 months):

(exacerbated):
“Sammy you are driving me to drink.”

Hmmm, wonder where she heard that!
