Blue lolly for the blue-eyed girl
The child has been earning rewards of M&Ms, jelly beans, or lollipops when successfully using the potty. I purchased a 370-count bag of DumDums from Sam’s last night, so you can imagine how it’s going. This afternoon, while hanging out in the library and watching her go to town on her lolly, I noticed the pale skin, dark hair, and blue eyes/blue lolly. “Hold on, Zo, Mommy needs to get her camera!”
This child of ours, she’s something else. Friday was her first entirely dry day, and today was her second. Tonight, we even successfully pottied in a public restroom, although never have I hated automatic-flush toilets more. Pretty sure the sporadic, unpredictable and loud flushing delayed the action by a good five minutes, maybe more. Zoe called it the Magic Toilet, which is a far cry less offensive than what I’d have called it.
