child #2

my #2 child is such a diva. well, my #1 is too, but thats already been established, but emersyn is hard core. first, she is like die hard obsessive compulsive chap sticker. every 2 minutes, its more lip gloss on. forget candy, snacks and treats, she wants lip gloss. and she has it down to an art form. she can put it on perfectly. i swear i didnt make her this way. the only make up i wear is mascara, eyeliner and, well, okay, i admit, lip gloss. but i certainly dont use it every 5 minutes! sheesh!

and now we are currently in the process of potty training her. (yay!) in which, she is doing wonderful. all except the pooping part. which im not to concerned about, b/c i figure it will come with time and as she gets the hang of it. anyway, we decide to go for a walk tonight to the park with the kids. we get to the park and lo and behold, we are in the middle of jazzfest. eh. kells all excited. whatev. not really my cup of tea. but we proceed to move to the playground. i notice that emersyn starts to do her little squirm. you know, the tell tale squirm kids do when they have to go to the bathroom...so i ask her if she has to go. and she says yes. well, all that is available are por a pottys. great. this ought to interesting.... jae had to go too, so being the 'big sister', she went first. (shes such a honey.) all it took was one look in the hole of the toilet and emersyn said 'nope, i dont gotta go'. hogwash. i knew she had to go. but she refused. gah. she was relentless. wouldnt go. so i said okay. dont go in your pants. and we continued to play on the playground. all was fine and dandy . i mean, this is the kid who has held her bladder for over 18 hrs before. kell and i were sitting on a park bench watching the girls run up and down the playground when all of the sudden we saw the flood gates open. whoosh. literally. wwhhhooosh. pee everywhere. oh.dear. kell jumped up and swiped her up as fast as he could. 'what do i do' he says. i said what do you mean. we gotta go. we didnt think to pack any extra clothes, we were just going to the park, plus she hasnt had an accident in over 3 days! she was devastated. all because she wouldnt go on the portopotty. now granted, i hate those things, too, but let me tell you, these were like the cadillac of portopotty's. they were nice. and clean. and did not smell. they even had a hand washing station/sink outside of them!

tsk tsk. emersyn......my little diva girl. :) i can only hope her standards are this high when it comes to men......
