Raising Children without a Parenting Manual
Conversations with kids – baby edition
3:30am
The Child: ‘Addy (she calls me Daddy. what’s up with that?)
Pamper (all diapers are Pampers to her)
Me: (peeking at her) Uh huh. Right now? We have to change your pamper right now? How bout say 6-ish?
The Child: Pamper. Pamper? Pamper? Pamper? Pamper? Pamper?
Me: Ok ok. I’m getting up.
Proudly the child stands and, smiling, rips off her diaper to show me she’s just pooped. Yay! Someone’s ready for potty training!
Really that’s a great announcement and I’m really proud of her at 17mths being able to identify when she’s peed or pooped and immediately wanting to change her diaper. Potty Training here we come!
Next time maybe we could save the announcements for say… sometime when the sun is in the sky?
