The last few days, Peri has shown some significant interest in learning to "go pottie". Apparently, she is a little gender-confused as well because she seems insistent on "standing" to pee ("Hey, if daddy and big brother do it, why can't she?!"). Anyway, in order to be compliant and encouraging, we purchased a little "pottie seat" for her, and she has been very excited to pursue it with vigor.But the MOST interesting recent development is that not only does Peri want to learn to go pottie, but apparently, her best buddy Elmo wants to learn as well. We came out of our room this morning to see Elmo propped up on the little pottie (pictured here), and while we didn't stick around long enough to see whether (or what) "Elmo-poo" might look like, we did think it was hilarious that she felt the urge (pun intended) for Elmo to learn as well.
Later, Sami had to rescue Elmo from the "big pottie" (Elmo suffered a soaked right foot, but that's all), but all in all, Elmo has been quite the encouragement for her. Shown below are Peri and Elmo sitting together on the pottie (which now also doubles as a sort of baby La-z-Boy) resting and taking in a movie after a hard day of harassing mommy.
