potty mouth

Do you want to go peepee? She shakes her head from right to left and back again. I'm not sure but I think this time she means yes. She forgets that no is the same headshake.

She gives me a wide grin - now is that a "let's play I pretend I want to go but instead chase me around the house" grin or a "glad you understand me" grin?
I'm game, we head upstairs to the bathroom. Pants, pull-down diaper, grab the potty-preferred book. She sits.

Intense look of concentration on her face and ... a massive fart is all we get this time!

An hour or so later, she hides underneath the kitchen table, obviously getting ready for a bowel movement. I ask her if she wants the potty. Head shake, head shake, head shake. She looks away, I'm pretty sure she means no. And when she's done with the real thing, she then entertains me with some nice fake grunts. What a hoot.

Up to the tub we go. She refuses to pee before stepping in. Stands up from the potty, and pees on the bathroom floor. I try not to laugh at the absurdity of it all, at her clownliness in this small regression.
