While looking through some baby pictures of Kiara for a class project, I ran across a priceless one that I thought was lost and had to scrap it.
Here's a little information about this photo. Kiara was very difficult to potty train. Besides her developmental delay, we also had to deal with her obsession with water. The combo of the two made for some pretty interesting and trying moments in parenting. And one of them was this:
OMG! Imagine my shock when she headed to the bathroom, was quiet for way too long and when I decided to check on her I found this! I do take great shame over the fact that I took the time to take a photo of her rather than pull her out of the toilet. Not my most proud moment of motherhood, but in my defense, the camera was only steps away and this Kodak moment was too priceless not to capture. Thankfully, Kiara never did this again!
I did the journaling in my hand, which I don't do often because it is horrible, and it talks about the challenges of potty training a water obsessed child and getting her to sit ON the potty and not IN it!
