Potty Breakdowns...

So this is surprisingly not about my one potty trained kid, but the one still in diapers. Every single time Moose says he has to go to the bathroom, Monkey tries to follow him in the bathroom. We've taught him to quickly close and lock the door (since she can open doors) so he can have privacy and she can learn that bathroom time for him is private. (Even if it's not for me) So whenever he locks the door, she falls on the floor and starts bawling. Every time. It's getting so annoying.

A potty trained obstacle I never considered. Oh well. Perhaps her fascination with the bathroom will mean she'll potty train before she's 3. (Which is how long it took Moose.) I'm all for that.

In Christmas wrap-ups, we made our gingerbread houses. Finally. We didn't have a very large selection of candy. 2 sizes of red and green M&M's, some leftover gumballs, smarties (leftover from a birthday pinata back at Thanksgiving), mini candy canes and some Peep Trees. Moose loved making it, as expected. Monkey was completely unable to stop from eating anything. She immediately ate one half of her roof, turning her house into a box. Then she continued to try and eat everything we gave her to decorate with. So the hubs took her to take a bath while Moose and I finished. It was fun. And now our Christmas festivities are officially over. Oh, and I finished cross-stitching my last Christmas present today. So yes, we're officially done with Christmas. Perhaps we'll have to put away Christmas next.
