....so my child is running around the house buckkit ass nekkid, covered in ketchup (from her latest encounter with chicken nuggets), and chasing the kitten. Earlier today, she got into a drawer and "decorated" herself with a ballpoint pen. And she is HAPPY.
I'm sitting my butt on the couch watching Maury and eating a turkey sandwich. And I'm pretty darn happy too (except for the impending doom in my head). Especially since it's almost naptime.
And I am also happy to report that after a little while running around nekkid and in just underwear, it seems like my kid is fully potty trained. It's about damn time, she'll be three in a week(ish). We've been going to the mall in underwear, the grocery store in underwear, visiting friends in underwear. No major accidents AT ALL. NO accidents actually. And she's dry at night and during naps.
So, after all this, please tell me- when is she going to be able to wipe her butt by herself? Seriously, I thought I'd been delivered from the butt wiping but nooooo. Oh well. Lost the battle but won the war, right?

Being able to wipe their own butt can take some time. It's a fine art, and they have to learn to ration the paper and pinch the paper and keep their fingers behind all paper so that poop crusties don't invade their little fingers. Don't let go of the butt wiping chore until you're sure that poop won't be coming out of the bathroom with her every time. LOL
Yeah, hate to tell you, but the butt wiping thing is a ways off. And even after they learn to do it themselves, we always have to help when things get messy!
But for sure, she'll have it down before she leaves for college - ha!
does it ever end? LOL Mine is 4, and just recently started staying dry through the night and wiping his own ass... so for another year or so, I don't have to hear, "Mom, I'm done!" floating down the halll... I miss the days when I used to be cool *sigh*
