Leta, Briefly

Pin It

Jon: “Wouldn’t it be great if we wore big girl pants and went to the potty?”

Leta: [pauses, considers that yes, it would be great, but she’s three, so…] “NO!”

J: “Ok.”

L: [pauses]“Soon, dad. Soon.”

L: “Dad, can we go to the sucker bank?”

J: “Yes, but you have to wear pants.”

L: “Ok, but after I’m done reading.”

L: “Daddy, I need Pocky to feel better.”

After my son had an “accident” I think I said something about flushing him down the toilet the next time,

“And you won’t be wearing swim fins, either!”

He never had a problem after that. Except for the eye tic and fascination with knives. That will pass, won’t it?

I used to work with families with kids with developmental disabilities. I worked with a great Mormon family (I’m the A word) with a child with Down’s Syndrome. Her older brother, the very verbally precocious middle child, all through his twos, would talk about how when he turned three he would wear big boy pants and go potty on the potty. On his third birthday, he opened a gift of super hero underwear, threw it down, and ran from the party screaming “I’m still two, I’m still two”.
