Hello Terrible Two's, We've Been Expecting You....
I should have stayed home *sigh*.
While getting ready Lydia was showing some interest in the potty. She peed in her diaper and then 5 seconds later was pulling at it saying "baby pee pee potty" So ok, I let her get naked and she sits on the potty and strains really hard to do something, but she was just a little too late lol. She has been showing greater interest in bathroom stuff so I thought well lets go to the mall and get some books on potty training and then go to BK.
Get there, find some books for her and a couple for me and we pay and go to leave. I had to pee and since BK is all the way back at our exit I figured I would go at the mall. They only have one (public) bathroom and its close to where I parked. We go back down the escelator and to the "potties". They have a family restroom that I use and it has a giant stall with two toilets, a big one and a little one. We have used this bathroom a dozen times and she has never looked twice at the little toilet so I didnt think anything of it when I sat down to pee. But as soon as my ass hit the toilet she made a beeline for the other little toilet and said "baby potty!" and plunked her butt down in a bowl full of water. *sigh*. So I scramble with my pants down to get her, finish my business and off we go in search of clothes.
I had to walk all the way back upstairs and across half the mall and all the way to the very back of JCP where I found a pair of pants. Get up there to pay and lo and behold her shirt is soaked in the back too. So I run all the way back and get a shirt and go back to pay then ask the lady if I can use the fitting rooms to change her into her dry clothes. All this time she is screaming about preztles and I know we are going to BK and she doesnt need a pretzle so I thought I would be sneaky and take her a different way out so she couldnt see the pretzles. But the different way out takes us past the one wee tiny area that has those rides for kids. Ok fine, I plunk 50 cents in one and she rides for a whole 30 seconds before she decides she doesnt like it. But she doesnt want to go, she wants to play with ALL the rides. Nope, not gonna happen. She has a melt down in the middle of the mall screaming about pretzles as she lays down and beats her tiny fists on the floor. Oh yippie!
We made it to BK, she eats and then she runs around for a while but when it gets close to nap time I told her we had to go and she scrambles up the steps and refuses to come down. I finally coax her down and she throws another fit on the way out. And now she is finally napping but I had to nurse her for 30+ minutes just get her to sleep. I was getting a bit anxious that a nap was not in the stars today :|
Again, I should have stayed home...but hey, if the toilet incident didnt traumatizer her then potty training might be happening soon lol.
