For us, we had one of those “hilarious moments” not to long ago. In Ava’s preschool room the door to the bathroom is a half door, so often times (much to the teacher’s dismay) the kids are in there together. This, I’m guessing is where Ava say a boy pee for the first time, something that I didn’t think a whole lot about. I mean after all, she’s two, it’s not like it’s going to traumatize her, right?!
Well…I quite possibly should have thought about it a little more than I did. We were at home on afternoon, and the dialogue goes like this:
Ava: “Mommy I need to go potty!”
Me: “Go potty! I’ll come help you in a second.” (As I walk down the hallway and around the corner to the bathroom)
Ava: “Look Mommy, I do it like a boy!” (Ava was standing up on her step, pants around her ankles, facing the toilet. Thankfully she hadn’t actually gone yet, but she was sure about to try)
Me: “Girls don’t go like boys, remember, we sit down to use the potty”
Ava: “Ok mommy, I’ll sit down!” (Whew! Just glad I didn’t have to mop the floor – that could have been really messy!)
Hilarious moment. I think so. Also a moment that, I’m sure, will prove to be embarassing moment for her in the future!
