Babygirl, potty-trained since October 2004: “I peed on the floor!”
Me: “You what?!”
Babygirl: “I need new pants.”
Me: “DON’T PEE IN YOUR PANTS!”
With each ‘p’ sound, puffs of my anger blew her wispy hair back. She blinked and said, “Did I pee in my pants? Did I make you mad?”
Me: “YES! Now, go get dry pants. And don’t pee on the floor again!”
Thus ends the suspense. The clean carpet is no longer. I am, however, still blond.

How is it they always know the exact thing to do that will get your blood pressure up to the highest level it can go?
I want a superpower too.

If it works that well, maybe I need a little of hair color, too. 🙂

LOL! Last night, we put Maddie to bed in panties for the first time. When we got up in the morning, she was sleeping in a pull-up. It seems she’d had to pee and instead of going to the bathroom or calling us, she’d just gone and found herself a pull-up! Gotta give her credit for resourcefulness!

I’ve been reading your blog for a little while now, and I thought that I would say that I really enjoy it.
I’m trying to potty-train my daughter right now, and I can totally feel the “pee-in-the-carpet-coronary”.
Great blog!

Oh, yeah. Thought I would add…I colored my hair for the first time a few months back, and am now a flaming redhead. A new haircolor does wonders for your general mood.
