Flying piss

Now that I'm calm enough to talk about it, let me share with you why my daughter is lucky to be alive. Or at least lucky that she can still sit down.


To begin with, Kairi had not had an accident all day long. So proud! Even poop went in the potty yesterday. But she developed this terrible habit. She'll pee, realize she's peeing, get excited, want to immediately take the bowl to the bit "toe-let" and flush it. Then she repeats the cycle. It happens about once every 2 minutes for a good half hour, and then she's FINALLY done and ready to go play. I'm being patient, because this is all still so new, but it gets old quickly.

Last night after supper, I was trying to change Alex's diaper while Kairi sat on the potty. I was working as quickly as possible knowing that in mere seconds she would want me to empty the potty so she could flush it and repeat her cycle.

I didn't finish fast enough.
"Mommy! I did it! Fush it mommy! Put in toe-let and fush it!"
"Wait a minute while I finish changing this diaper."
"No! MOMMY NOW!"
At which point she picked up the potty bowl, and threw it -- AT MY HEAD.

Pee went everywhere. On me, on Alex, on the floor. EVERYWHERE.

I yelled. Chris yelled. She bawled. I knew that I was too angry to spank her, and I never want to spank while angry. I put her in the bathtub, scrubbed her down, and put her to bed. It wasn't quite 6pm, but I didn't care. She went to bed.


I know that she just threw it simply because it was the object that she wanted attention with, and she had no idea that pee would fly everywhere. She's two, she doesn't get that. But that knowledge made me no less angry.


For the record, Mommy went to bed with a migraine 3 hours later. That migraine has eased up, but is not gone. And yes, I blame Kairi.
