(Probably) Too Much Information

THIS LITTLE LADY IS TOO MUCH (MOST DAYS). SOMETIMES IT IS HARD TO LISTEN TO HER WITH A STRAIGHT FACE AS SHE RELATES INFORMATION TO US ALL DAY LONG.

AS SOME OF YOU KNOW, WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF POTTY TRAINING OVER HERE. IT HAS ACTUALLY GONE BETTER THAN I ANTICIPATED (AFTER HEARING COUNTLESS TALES OF DOOM FROM MORE EXPERIENCED PARENTS). WHILE GOING NUMBER ONE SEEMS QUITE EFFORTLESS, OUR SWEET GAL HAS ALWAYS STRUGGLED WITH GOING NUMBER TWO. AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE, IF DOING HER BUSINESS IN A DIAPER HAS CAUSED US MUCH PAIN AND AGONY GETTING HER TO FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING HER BUSINESS OVER THE POTTY HAS PROVED TO BE EVEN TRICKIER. HOWEVER, (I'M PLEASED TO REPORT) OVER THE PAST WEEK WE HAVE MADE GREAT PROGRESS IN THIS SENSITIVE AREA. AND, WITH HER NEW FOUND SUCCESS AND INTEREST IN BLESSING THE TOILET WITH SAID NUMBER TWO DEPOSITS, SHE HAS FOUND NEW (SIMILES/ANALOGIES/CHARLOTTE"ISMS") TO DESCRIBE HER POTTY.

I APOLOGIZE IF THIS IS INDEED TOO MUCH INFORMATION FOR YOU. I LAUGH THAT THIS IS EVEN THE TOPIC OF SUCH A REFINED FAMILY BLOG. BUT, I FEEL THAT I OWE IT TO YOU CHARLOTTE FANS OUT THERE TO HEAR HER LATEST AND HUMOROUS THOUGHTS.

ONCE OUR SWEET GAL GOES NUMBER TWO INTO THE TOILET SHE LIKES TO LOOK DOWN AT IT AND TELL ME WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO HER.

AND HERE IS WHAT SHE SEES.

IT LOOKS...

"KIND OF LIKE A LITTLE ROCK."

"KIND OF LIKE A LITTLE BALL."

"KIND OF LIKE A LITTLE BUSH."

AND TODAY...

"KIND OF LIKE A LITTLE TACO."

(I MAY NEVER BE ABLE TO EAT AT TACO BELL AGAIN - A FAVORITE RESTAURANT OF THE LITTLE LADY'S AND MINE.)

OH, IF YOU COULD BE A FLY ON OUR BATHROOM WALL TO SEE HER GLEE AND DELIGHT AS SHE GOES ON THE POTTY, AND HEAR HER CREATIVE AND DESCRIPTIVE NARRATIVES. I TELL YOU, IT IS NEVER A DULL DAY OVER HERE!
