I blush to admit I actually carry one of those little wee Baby Bjorn potties in my car with me. When my older daughter was little I just put the tiny potty in the back of my Subaru wagon and then when she was done poured the pee into bushes. Taking her into a public restroom, home to auto-flushing and blow drying horror, resulted in screaming, tears, and her just holding it. She could handle me going if I was wearing her in my Ergo, but trying to get her to go was torture for us both.
Now, at four and a half, she can handle public restrooms if I prevent auto-flushing, but still nostalgically requests "the little car potty."
And no, if she pooped, I didn't dump that in the bushes. I might be awful but not that bad! ;) I had a Method for that contingency.
public toilets vs newly potty trained girls and boys
Do you know what this is? A public toilet? Wrong. It is the enemy. It is especially the enemy of newly potty trained boys and girls, who are completely inept and unready to battle it. As are the parents. Back in the early days with Crappy Boy, I couldn't wait for him to no longer use diap...
Hee hee - it's SO true. I was just examining my vegetable-stew-baby-belly and pondering this very thing...
And Beth's summarization in math form finally did it for me. Happy to vote for you! She was right, 3 minutes on the nose. :)
after eating, before and after kids
Eating. Eating is good. I like to eat. At the offering of good food, I've always been one to stuff myself. This is what it was like to stuff myself before I had kids: My stomach would hurt! I'd feel like I was going to burst! And now, this is what it is like to stuff myself, after having k...
So so so so so so so SOOOOO funny!!!!! My life, only with one cat instead of two... This has to have been about the funniest thing I've ever read. And I LOVE your illustrations.
what it is like to (not) sleep at night - illustrated with crappy pictures™
INTRO: Here is installment #2 in my "real life parenting" series. (This series will be continued over on Crappy Pictures so head over there for more!) I draw crappy pictures because I don't have actual photos of these experiences. Here goes... -------------------------------------------------...
I'm laughing so hard I'm actually weeping. I just insisted on reading it to my husband, who seems vaguely amused but just doesn't seem to get it. I have a one year old and an almost-four year old. Tears are streaming down my cheeks. Solid gold here.
what it is like to change diapers (illustrated with crappy pictures™!)
INTRO: I've been wanting to share a few "real life parenting" moments but I don't have any photos. Everybody hates text only posts. So I drew some really crappy pictures to illustrate. This has turned into an ongoing series, which now lives here at Crappy Pictures. Here goes... ------------...
