Potty Talk

Whether we like it or not, it seems as if Miss Zoe has decided to potty train herself. We mentioned in an earlier blog that we had purchased a training potty to have when we decide to go down that road. Once it was removed from the box, the potty immediately became a toy chair for Zoe. (We aren't ready to potty train so we have not yet read up on it and, thus, are blissfully ignorant of any damage we are doing by letting her use the potty as a toy.) Beyond buying the potty, we have done nothing. We have not explained things to Zoe. We have not bought her any of the potty training books that are supposed to coax her along the potty training path. We have not invited or encouraged her to even consider using the potty as a potty. However, three times in the last two days she has come to one of us saying "potty, potty" and insisted that we pull down her pants and remove her diaper. We proceeded to follow her instructions as much out of curiosity of what would happen next as to humour her. Imagine our suprise when she "produced" each time!

When she is not trying to convince us to potty train her, she loves sitting in her rocking chair reading books.

She loves playing peek-a-boo.

She is becoming more and more attached to her blanket, or "Ga" as she calls it. She definitely associates it with sleeping and will often say "night night" and lay her head on it as she picks it up, even though she plays with it all day long. She will often suck on her fingers while cuddling it, a gesture usually reserved for when she is tired or going to sleep.

Peek-a-boo!
