Its been a long time since I blogged. Sorry about that. This week has been up and down with Punkin'. She was extremely upset she did not get a visit with her biological mother, as her mother failed to call. Punkin' was very upset and acted out all week. But along the way she said some funny things.
As some of you may know, we are potty training Punkin' because her mother used Punkin's Autism as an excuse saying "she can never be potty trained". FAIL. She was trained on #1 within a week of trying. #2 she is having some trouble with. Its only been 7 weeks, but I can tell we may need to involve a doctor at some point. Anyhow, I asked her "Punkin' did you have an accident? I smell something." She said "HUH??? NOOO! I did not have an accident!" So of course, I asked if she was sure. Punkin' is quick to respond. "I told you I did not have an accident! I just let out a HUGE fart! Just like at school!" Just like at school? I thought...so I asked "What do you mean just like at school? Do you fart a lot at school?" She giggled. A lot. Then said "Yea, they call me Sir Farts A Lot! And I make noises like this with my mouth...boom psst boom" (her attempt to beat box).
Daddy and I almost DIED laughing!
At the current time she is in the tub. She will be there for about an hour, or until I tell her she can no longer hang out in the bathwater. She's singing. Would you like to know what she is singing? "I'm cleaning my stinky feet! Colin won't go on a date with me if I don't clean my stinky feet! Nobody likes stinky feet!" Yes, she has a "boyfriend" and her father is not so thrilled. Just look at the happy couple....
I must say, despite her acting out multiple times this week, she has been extremely helpful. She has done lots of "challenges" including:
Changing Sweet Pea's stinky diapers
Washing the dishes (including bottles)
Vacuuming the apt
Washing the slider door
Cleaning her room, even tho it was Sweet Pea who made the mess
and she didn't fight over having to do her homework.
Punkin' has been saving her money so she can spend it on toys, games, dolls ect. We as a family have stopped buying her those things unless it is educational and falls during a birthday or Christmas. She is learning how to manage money, and I love it!
Cannot wait to see what next week brings....
