It's My Potty, Cybil
Our child has two personalities...the daycare one and the home one.
Apparently Maggie is almost potty trained at school. The other day I got an email from Erik that, according to Miss Olga (Maggie's teacher), Maggie peed in the potty that morning. He followed up with "Maggie has both confirmed and denied it". And then today, Miss Olga told me that Maggie used the potty three times yesterday. Three times! And yes, she peed each time. Apparently when Ryiah dances around and says she has to go potty, so does Maggie and each time she actually did have to go. I asked her this morning when I was dropping her off if she used the potty at school and she casually responded "yeah, with Miss Olga". As if to say, don't even try at home.
At home Maggie talks a lot about the potty but when I ask her if she wants to use it she immediately responds NO. She will sit on the potty, in her diaper (with book in hand I must add), and say she's peeing, which she probably is but she is not interested in actually peeing IN the potty. She'll sit in the bathtub and warn me she has to pee before she does so in the tub, and almost always does on the rug in her room just before I get the diaper on her. But she hasn't quite gotten to the point where she uses the potty from start to finish. And I have to admit, I'm not pushing it. I like the convenience of diapers. I hate public restrooms. The thought of holding her while she hovers is not an appealing one to me. Can't we just have her potty trained for when it's convenient?
At school Maggie eats all of her vegetables, fruit, chicken, hamburger, whatever the meal du jour is, Maggie eats it. "She's one of our best eaters" her teacher says. Um, excuse me, who are you talking about?
At home Maggie eats hot dogs, mac and cheese, french fries, the occasional chicken nugget, maybe sweet potato fries and sometimes applesauce. Oh and she's a BIG fan of hamburger helper. She is definitely her father's daughter.
At school she's playful, funny, cute, sarcastic, silly.
At home, oh yeah, she's all those things too :)
