The Bug and The Drama Queen

A day in the life of:

Drama Mama (a.k.a Kaykay) and her potty training...

1st off let me announce (with GREAT pride) that Drama Mama is Day potty trained. She wears her panties during the day (and even when we go out) and knows to tell me she needs to go.

Here is an example of a typical day...

SET SCENE - Living room...reading a book together

Act I

Kaykay: "mommy, kaykay needs to go shee shee in the potty...Hum (come) on runnnn.."

**see mommy and kaykay running to the bathroom...kaykay tripping on toys or running into things as she goes because she is watching ME the whole way and not watching where SHE is going!**

Arrive in Kids Bathroom

SET SCENE- Kids bathroom....little toilet seat over toilet and step stool in place

ACT II

**see Kaykay sitting on potty with her feet propped up on the seat...(makes for a nice mess, but hey...I'm not complaining...she IS going in the potty) ...and mommy sitting on the edge of the tub.

Kaykay: Geh (get) OUT mommy...geh OUT...*meanwhile pointing her finger at the exit of the bathroom*

Exit mommy.

*5 seconds go by...as mommy waits right outside the door knowing full well what is coming next*

Kaykay: "Mommy!...Mommmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeee!?"

*I peek around the door*

Kaykay: "come ere (here) mommy sit down!" *gestures for me to sit on the tub again*

I sit.

KayKay: "Here it comes mommy..issss (it's) coming"

*she opens her eyes wide and waits for the sound of her own shee shee*

Kaykay: "Mommy sing ABC's peeease (please)"

*see mommy singing ABC'S while being joined in periodically by a letter here and there and an "hij..lmooppppppppp"...also see an occasional dance and wiggle*

She is done....

*see her marching (while her feet are STILL propped up) while still sitting there and singing

Kaykay: "Kaykay went shee shee in the potty...kaykay went shee shee in the potty..HOORAY!"

followed by an immediate

"now kaykay gets arshlelloooows!!" (marshmallows)

Kaykay: " Mommy get issue (tissue people!!! I already KNOW i have issues! LOL)..kaykay wipe ta ta.."

*see mommy pulling off the tissue since kaykay knows she is not allowed due to numerous previous incidents where the whole roll ended up unwrapped IN the toilet*

She jumps down:

Kaykay: "kaykay ash (wash) ands..(hands).."

* see mommy turn on water and kaykay wash her hands *

Kaykay: " ets (let's) go get arshlellooooows"

exit bathroom

Set Scene: kitchen area...in cupboards where marshmallows are located..

Act III

Mommy: " Good job Kaykay...that makes mommy soooo proud of you...Good JOB!"

Kaykay: " Yay kaykay...kaykay get arshleloooows peease"

*see mommy pulling down the mini colored marshmallows and placing them on the counter in front of her*

Meanwhile Kaykay is dancing and singing to herself her potty song.....while waiting for me

Mommy: "How many do you get kaykay?"

Kaykay: "foooooouuuuuurrrr"

Mommy: "Thats right...now count them out.....ONLY 4 kaykay!"

*see kaykay look at mommy out of the corner of her eye...grab 2.. stuff them quickly in her mouth...and begin counting*

Kaykay: "1....2.....free.....4"

Mommy: " No kaykay....you already had 2...now you only get 2 more."

Kaykay: " no Mommy....kaykay get ffffffoooooouuurrrrr....seeeeeee..."

*see her counting them out of her hand and placing them on the counter*

Kaykay: "1...2....freee....4!!!!"

*see Mommy grabbing 2 and putting them back IN the bag*

Kaykay: " Dooos (those) are miiine mommyyy...but I sharrrrre"

Mommy: " gee thanks kaykay...nice try"

***repeat about 11 times throughout day***
