Communication
Tonight after dinner Tessa wanted to get down from the table. Since we’re working with her on potty training, Mommy wanted her to say “Yes Potty”, and said and signed this for Tessa. Tessa had asked to get out and go play, so she kept saying “No” to Mommy’s guidance…until it became clear to her that Mommy wasn’t getting her out until she said what Mommy wanted.
So she said “Yes”, paused, and then said “Play”. Not Yes Potty, Yes Play. She knows what she wants! I couldn’t help but laugh out loud, which made Tessa happy enough to give in.
