Potty Dance

I have found a new blog, other than mypetpeeves.com that I visit daily. It is a mothers blog about her 6 kids. She tells the funniest stories, and it makes me feel that I am not alone in the loosig battle of sanity when it comes to raising children. Her topic of today was the clothes kids wear. I could be on a topic like this ALL day! Kay likes to play dressup, and would rather wear her barbie Rapunzel costume dress and shoes out to play than anything. If on those rare times I don't let her, she wears a skirt EVERYWHERE. She is so not like me....give me jeans or shorts and a tee anyday. Bug would rather be naked. Doesn't matter where or why, but for some reason when we enter ANY house, he clothses become a wadded mess on the floor. Shoes??? Who needs them... She is my Barefoot Contessa. In a world like she lives in, underwear are not comfortable unless they are her older sisters and they are on Buggie backwords. If you try to fix them for her, she will take them back off, turn them backwords, and put them back on.

Why is it that kids will do the "potty dance" but yet still refuse to go? I was in the kitchen fixing lunch today, and Bug comes in doing her dance.
Go Potty!
Don't have to go potty..
Go potty, you are dancing.
I'm not dancing!
(At this point she is not only dancing, but holding herself with BOTH hands)
Reese Layne go potty!
all wite, all wite! -as she sasche's to the potty
::FLUSH::
Go potty.......
I did.
why are you dancing??
I did go potty.
Finally I gave up and carried her in there and put her on the potty...done deal
