More Adventures in Potty Training: Potty Talk

 For about a month now, my two year old has been using the big girl potty.  She pulls down her pants on her own, sits down, and goes like a pro. It’s all been so exciting, potty training a toddler for the first time. Daisy has just caught on so quickly. There’s only one small glitch in our potty training adventure. When she’s done and it’s time to wipe her bum, she looks up at me and says cheerfully, ”Ass wipe.” 

The first time she said it, I was shocked. I know I have never said those words around her, so where did she learn it? Her father doesn’t talk like that either. It was a mystery. A slightly funny, slightly distubring mystery.  It wasn’t until recently I realized she is not meaning to say, “Ass wipe,” but rather, “Let’s wipe,” which is what I used to say when I was teaching her to wipe after using the potty.

So my two year old is not talking potty talk after all. Thank goodness…how would I explain that one to my mother?

    Do you have a facebook account? If so, and you’d like to share your page, just email me, and I can give you my details to look for too. Would be nice to keep in touch if I don’t write on my blog so much.
