TT Throws a Curve

MHW left to Israel last night. The "Book of TT" in hand, I was ready. I dutifully took out the stuffed cabbage from the freezer and put it in the fridge, as instructed (so that it would thaw by Thanksgiving). I prepared dinner for TT and OYD and didn't burn it (back in the day, I actually used to be a fairly solid cook). I was getting ready to prepare TT's bath when, out of the blue, she says: "I want to sit on the potty. Dora's (the Explorer) potty".

I was not ready for this because it's been weeks since she tried to use the potty. TT showed an interest a couple of months ago but nothing really came of it. Despite the fact that this topic is not covered in the Book of TT, I was not overly concerned because, in the past, TT would just sit on the potty, look at a few books and nothing happened.

Of course, last night, after 90 seconds, TT did her thing in Dora's potty.

You. Must. Be. Joking.

This was not part of the plan. I had to improvise.

OYD and I made a huge deal of it. Woo Hoo. TT made in the potty!!! Found some construction paper. Found some Sesame Street stickers. Created "TT's Potty Chart". Hung it on the fridge.

I gave her a bath and put on a regular diaper for sleep.

Now what? This gig is hard enough without having to potty train.
