For some crazy reason, I got up yesterday and decided it was time for Ace to potty train…and on physical therapy day as well! So, we started off doing really good. He got the idea after having an accident in superman undies and made it through two successful trips to the bathroom. We survived pt with one accident (on my couch no less) and then I was making lunch. I put him on the little potty to try and go while I finished up lunch. Zoe decided she had to go too and went to use the big potty in their bathroom. She kept trying to tell me that Ace was doing something, but I refuse to listen to tattletelling (should’ve listened this time) and then the toilet flushed. When I walked in to the bathroom, I discovered that the “pee” guard (not sure of the proper name for it) was missing on the little potty. Zoe walks in and announces that Ace just flushed it down the toilet. I do a quick search of the bathroom (easy to do…it’s small) and discover that it’s not there. So I had to call Mark because the pee guard had disappeared down the potty. Unbelievably, the pee guard did not stop up the toilet and is now somewhere happily floating down the sewage treatment plant! I wonder if the plant sees a lot of those floating by as they’re working!

Believe it or not, I did not lose my temper until Ace dumped out all of Zoe’s ponytail holders in the bathroom (choking hazzard for our little belly crawler). At that point, I was beyond yelling and just sent him to his room to play before I lost my temper completely.
