After a (probably much too early) success pooping on the potty, Natalie has been kinda freaked out by sitting on the potty. I thought this conversation we had tonight might have shed some light on why she seems to be scared. But I’m really just overanalyzing. Or am I? You decide….
Natalie: I want to eat my grilled cheese right NOW!!
Me: You’re hungry, huh?
Natalie: Yes, I’m hungry!!
Me: Well, I don’t want you to burn your mouth, so you’ll just have to tell your belly to wait until the grilled cheese cools off.
When I gave her the plate of grilled cheese, she leaned forward and pressed her belly against her plate, as if she was trying to get the food directly in there.
Me: Your food goes into your belly after you chew it in your mouth.
Natalie: Oh?
Me: Yeah, you chew your food, it goes in your belly, and then you poop.
Natalie: And then we will be sad.
Me: Sad? Why will you be sad?
Natalie: Because we lost our food!
That’s a mean mean couple of posts to make public. SO much worse normal baby pictures.
Mean? She’s learning about digestion. Everyone poops, you know!
