January 3, 2006 Potties Potties Everywhere 
Today at work I was describing my Christmas holiday to a colleague. "How about Frances?" he asked. "How was she?" "Oh, she was great. Very excited." "And did she get tired?" "Nooooo.... Well, on Christmas afternoon when we went to my parents, she did lie down on a pillow and ask for a blanket. And she said 'I vewy vewy tie-ohed.'" "Oh! That's pretty good!" "I know." "No tantrums or meltdowns or anything? My kids weren't like that." "Believe me, I'm not complaining." ~~~~~ Frances can't be the only one in the audience who has one of these:
Silly me, I thought it was a tree and a hut. Frances informs me that it is a couch (the green part), a chair (the wooden part) and a potty (what I thought was the catapult). The mommy horsie and the baby horsie had a great time taking turns sitting on the different seats, and giving each other hugs and kisses. When the horsie had an unfortunate accident, plunging off the 'couch' to land on his head, Frances picked him up and said, "I kiss owie." Then she did.

He loves flinging the boulder across the room... preferably toward the couch so mommy has to scramble and play Kasey Keller so as to keep it from sliding under into the land of no return.

Oooh! That looks like a great toy. Frances is such a cutie pie. Posted by: liz at January 3, 2006 8:35 PM
She's just a creative genius. But you didn't need me to tell you that. Imagination is awesome :) Posted by: Running2Ks at January 3, 2006 8:51 PM
See, you needn't have worried about certain types of toys stinting her imagination! What a smart, creative girl. Posted by: Suzanne at January 3, 2006 10:37 PM
Wow, I don't know; I'd worry if a child of mine was confusing potties and catapults. *giggle* Posted by: Jane Dark at January 3, 2006 10:41 PM
