Similar to other parents who have gone before us, we are now aware of the unique methods our children use to conceal the moments when they need to use the facilities, but would rather use their diaper instead! You know, those hide in the corner very quietly, sneak under the table so no one can find you moments? Well, our Princess Abby has found a new way to 'hide' when the urge overcomes her and we are without her potty. This past weekend, while in Deerfield for Tony's 20th high school reunion, Miss Abigail found a new place to 'hide' since her usual place (her bathroom potty) wasn't to be found in our hotel room. As parents, we were kicking ourselves for leaving behind her potty, but given how many other items we had to cart with us, just had no other choice! Alas, Abby found a private spot in a room where there was little privacy. You just have to hand it to the girl as she's very strategic and knows exactly how to make use of all available private locales. And yes, we're well aware of how angry she'll be with us when she gets older and realizes how we've embarrassed her-- but actually--we're very proud parents. Abby showed incredible resourcefulness and problem-solving skills given her missing potty. And, we learned a valuable lesson resulting in our trip to Babies R Us this afternoon to purchase a 'child ring' for use on any standard commode so that future away trips will be more potty-training productive and less embarrassing for Abby :)
