Now this isn't the first time we've had this issue. Just last week, when I came home from work, TPG was "napping" on the couch ..... which he does a lot. He claims that GG was "napping" next to him and must have awaken with him noticing. In all of her unsupervised glory, she removed her diaper and pooped once again in her playroom, except this time smearing it all over the glass window to the door. It was an easy clean up but still very nasty & very stinky. When I found my poop covered & smeared baby she was sitting naked in her hair chair and sniffing her pooped stained fingers repeating "nasty....stinky....nasty" over & over again. It was as though she was traumatized by her smearing event, which may be why it only happened the one time.
With perfect timing to my stressful situation, Sweetened*Taters posted these potty training tips for those of us about to begin our journey.
Does anyone else have any helpful tips that may have worked for you? Wish us luck, sounds like we're going to need it!
On another final note.
This is what happens when Ma'ma is away and TPG is "napping" on the couch.
Like I said, it happens a lot.
Like I said, it happens a lot.
This is GG after she found a jar Vicks Medicated Vapor Rub from a location that I was unaware it had been stored. Amazed that she actually got the lid off, she decided to try this rub out as a new hair styling product. Apparently, it was too "nasty" on her fingers so she decided to wipe the mess all over the microfiber love seat & coffee table ...... because they were conveniently close. She walked around for a few hours sniffing her newly opened sinuses and convincingly claimed"mmm good" as if she were really enjoying the mentholyptus smell that she couldn't escape.
We're now looking to investing in a new living room suit. TPG had me looking at Elder Beermans furniture department this week because they were having a "Big Sale". I laughed the entire time thinking I could pay off my student loans with these prices. I, of all people, was encouraging him to shop at Value City or even Big Lots in search of new furniture .......just hoping that it might last long enough to pass my bill in Congress allowing parents to "beat your children and not be punished by law if you have documented proof" (see above).

OMG that is hilarious!!! Did you get it off the sofa?
I actually DO love the mentholyptus smell :) "Mmmmm... good!"
The couch is forever stained! At least I can identify this particular marking. We have decided it may be the newest fixture in her playroom. That way she can feel free to use it as her own personal toilet. I'll be sure to wrap caution tape or at least have it clearly labeled as a bio-hazard. You know, so children services can't say I didn't "warm" them..... because that's apparently important these days!
If you need additional signatures to get it to congress please let me know!! :)
that is hilarious! my mom did the same thing when she was a child! her explanation to her parents was she was giving herself a 'perm'. good luck on your potty training adventure too, the only experience i have is with a boy & it took him to the age of 3-1/2...i just let him do it when he was ready after many unsuccessful tries, one day it was like someone flipped a switch & he just started doing it.
