Proud Moment in Hobo Parenting


Last Friday at the park I sat chatting with friends as Bea ran around playing. Periodically I glanced up and made sure I knew where she was. Imagine my pride when I see her walk over to a tree, pull up her dress, take off her undies, squat, pee, stand up, take off her shoe and drain the urine out of it, put it back on along with her undies and run off again.

I know some of the mommies were horrified at my daughter's vagabond behavior. But I could not have more delighted. So she smelled like a nursing home. So what. I had some quality time with my friends as my 3 year old solved her own problems. Isn't that what life is all about?

Doesn't this go right along the lines of officially potty trained? If you hadn't seen it then you wouldn't have known she went and that's a glorious day.

Draining the shoe — HILARIOUS!

I think this is my favorite blog post ever. I love how independent she is.
