Potty Time

Dear Mackenzie,

We officially started potty training today! I had been putting it off because I just didn't want to deal with the messes but you ROCKED it today! I put you in your first pair of underwear this morning, took you to the bathroom every half hour and you only had one small accident the entire day. In fact, it was such a small accident that I thought the tiny puddle of liquid on the floor was water (but you informed me that it was pee). By the evening, you were even saying, "I need to go potty train!" whenever you felt the need to go to the bathroom. Whoo! Yay Mackenzie!

When we are upstairs, you just use my toilet but for downstairs, Daddy bought a cute little Minnie Mouse potty seat. It has buttons that make cheering sounds and flushing noises and you were SO excited to use it that you whipped off your underwear before Daddy had even finished putting it together! We were in the living room watching him assemble it when I felt something soft fall on my foot. When I looked down, I saw your underwear and your naked tushee. You couldn't wait to sit on the new potty seat! So funny!

And here are some other recent funny (non-potty-related) moments from you:

-After we watched some BTS videos, you said, "Jungkook have something on his mouth." I told you that it was his lip ring; I have earrings that I wear in my ears but he has one that he wears on his lip. You scrunched up your nose in disgust and said, "That yucky. He should wear earring in his ear."

-You were wearing just underwear and your bee backpack, holding one of my face masks like a slingshot and creeping around saying, "I shoot monsters, piew piew! Go away go away! Mama, I shoot monsters away from you. Can I shoot your butt?" Huh? Were the monsters in my butt?!

-You often dress up in this particular outfit: Second GuhGaw's bucket hat, one Anna glove (just one because we can't find the other one), your Baby Shark fuzzy slippers and your bee backpack. Sometimes, you put on your red heart sunglasses.

-When you are fighting with one of your siblings over a toy, I often tell the older kid to give it to you since you are little. The other day, you did my job for me when you and Second GuhGaw wanted the same toy truck and you yelled at him, "I s'posed to play that! You s'posed to gimme dat! I little! I little!"

-A variation of the above is when I tell the older kids to give you something because you are the baby. And the other day when you were again fighting over a toy with Second GuhGaw and he wouldn't give it to you, you started crying and screaming, "I the baby! I the baby! I the baby!"

Love,

Mom
