Peach

March 22nd, 2011

I haven’t had a lot of time to write here, but this week, someone else is doing most/all of the housework. With potty training off to a jagged start, housework involves a lot of laundry and steam-cleaning and emptying of an elaborate, pink-plastic chamber-pot with images of three Disney princesses on the lid and a musical “flush” handle. (Out of all of the potties on the Intenet, it was her favorite one.)

We are in Georgia, and can I just brag a moment: My wild little critter is one solid traveler. Removes her shoes and backpack with no prompting and puts them in a bin. Helps her mom by holding onto her tot-handle all over the airport and helping to pull our carry-on duffel. Waits patiently, embaces the adventure, and is an enormous hit with fellow passengers.

Not long after we sat down, she pointed excitedly across the aisle at a woman with a pet carrier and said, “Look, Mom! She has a doggie in her purse!” How very cute she is.

    So happy to hear the toilet training is going well and that she’s using the tot-handle, that’s awesome!

    She really is adorable. :)

    Hey! She has your flair for describing things in unique and creative ways. (Do you remember when you told me “Look, mommy – the wind is reading that book” when you saw one laying open on the ground with the pages fluttering?)

    And I love your positive attitude – no matter how much of an angel she is, traveling with a 3 year old is a challenge to anyone’s patience.

    Sweet Vibby – glad to hear that she found a potty that makes her happy. Learning to use the toilet is, like everything else in life, all in your outlook.

    Love you!
