Delayed by drama

I've been meaning to keep going with the warnings (next up: R for Random Crap), but I keep getting interrupted by other people's bodily fluids.

Speaking of, here's another weird thing about potty training - having to act NOT in any way upset by the fact that someone just peed on the floor. After all, you wouldn't want to give them a complex, then they'll be peeing themselves until they're 20 or something.

So instead you choke back the urge to say "AAAAHHH what are you DOING!! I JUST ASKED if you needed to go and you said NO!!!" and instead say "That's OK! Everybody has accidents!"

Who minds a little pee all over the floor? (and the clothes, and the shoes, and the books that were on the floor...)




Anyway. The other thing that's been holding things up over here is the drama.

Adi has a best friend who lives across the street. That means Noya has a best friend/worship object living across the street.

They played with their friend all yesterday afternoon, then played at the park in the evening, then saw each other at a mutual friend's house at night. Then they were all together this morning at gan, then they walked home together, then we parted ways so that we could all go home and have lunch before meeting 80 minutes later to walk to another mutual friend's house to play there.

So of course, after all that time together, and with the plans in place to meet in just over an hour, Noya's reaction to separating after gan was perfectly reasonable:

To be fair, Adi got to go to a friend's house (different friend) and she didn't, which is always a terrible horrible trauma roughly on par with the end of the world. It's tough being not the oldest (not that I'd know. Ha ha, Snan).

The point is: with some luck, a bit less drama, and a lot less pee, your crucial-parenting-knowledge bank should be growing again within the next couple days. And in the meantime, now you've had a sneak peek at D for Drama.
