Is peeing on the floor progress?

Yes. It is. We’re going to say it is, anyway. Because when one is scared to pee anywhere but one’s diaper, then peeing on the floor is progress because we have peed somewhere other than the diaper.

The waiting is the hardest part…

I just went to the restroom and, during that brief respite from work, could no longer bury myself in the paperwork that covers my desk. I began to think of Zozer, and wonder how she’s doing, and imagined her wailing in a small, bare bathroom at school. While her friends and teachers gleefully eat two dozen moon doughnuts purchased in her honor.

U-Day

After months and months of talking about how we were going to go pee and poo on the potty when we were four, it didn’t happen. Sigh.
