Dear Baobao,
With all the interest you’ve been showing in your potty trainer, your mother decided to give it a go putting you on there. Lo and behold, you started doing your business there no problem, and you’ve been doing it with some regularity the past week now.
That’s not to say we haven’t run into hurdles along the way. Your mother frequently runs out of pants now because your urine frequently sprays over the potty guard and onto her. We (or I, rather) don’t like to talk about it with other people because you’re relatively young to be doing this and others always ask, “Why the rush?” or “That’s a bit early, isn’t it?” I mean, what am I supposed to say? And lastly, there’s Kili, who apparently thinks the potty is another food bowl. You read that right – your dog ate your poop…and apparently dogs do this.
Sometimes it’s hard to tell whether you’re really getting it or you just realize we will read you as many books as you want while you’re sitting there (we even constructed a box to hold all the books like a horizontal book shelf!). In any case, just another source of entertainment and exercise in patience in this household.
Love,
Baba
