porcupines poop on the potty

For the record, Sophie has developed an imagination.

Sophie:  Mommy, porkepine poop the poddy.

Me:  Porcupines poop on the potty?

Sophie:  Yeah. (giggles)

Me: Yep, porcupines ALWAYS do their poops on the potty. (When asked, I tell her every animal, fictional and non-fictional character uses the toilet, anything to make it sound more cool!)

Sophie:  Porkepine poop on MY potty!

Me:  A porcupine pooped on YOUR potty?

Sophie: Yeah.  Silly porkepine! (giggles)

At least SOMEONE is using that princess potty.  Sophie has lost interest completely.  I don't make her but I always suggest it when I can tell she needs to go, she always says no and cries.  So I just let it go.  I've talked to a few moms with head-strong first children like Sophie and they all suggest letting her decide to do it on her own.  I think that's what I'll do.  She's kind of like the dad in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, in that everything has to be HER idea or it's a bad idea.

 

On a less silly note, Sophie said something that really surprised me this weekend.  She was pulling on her hand saying "off, off" I asked her what she wants off and she said, "sticker off, brown sticker off!"  Apparently Sophie thinks her mole is a sticker and wants to take it off.  I told her that's her mole and it doesn't come off, she seemed satisfied but asked me again the next day.  I just told her the same thing about it not coming off.  I was wondering when she'd notice.  Made me think again about getting it removed.  Anyone who has read my blog for long knows that this is a REALLY difficult decision for me.  But it's just not a possibility right now.  Maybe after we get new insurance in a year or two.  At least I don't have to decide yet.
