Doing her Duty
We are spending the week on vacation in Massachusetts and Maine. Like my parents did with me when I was too young, Claire is staying with grandma while we take the older ones travelling.
While we visit Plymouth Rock and Plimouth [sic] Plantation, grandma has taken it upon herself to potty train Claire.
Much to my chagrin, we hadn’t begun ourselves to train her. When Chris started buying size 6 diaper I took it as a tacet statement that we weren’t going to start anytime soon. Katie and Marissa never made it to that size. Size 6 is the last before adult-size “Depends.” It was looking like Claire was headed for the non-potty-trained room at daycare this fall.
But grandma reports things are progressing well. She likes to be left alone to do her business. Which appears to be shredding the toilet paper while she waits for events unfold.
Next year Chris wants to do Philadelphia for vacation. And I’m thinking it’ll give Claire the opportunity to how to mow the lawn.
