Addie's Toilet Saga

Over the Holiday's we went to "Mimi's" and "Papa's" house in Utah. Mimi Pam had just bought a miniature doll house for the grand kids to play with when they visited. Addie loved it immediately. I don't think she'd ever played with miniature cribs, tiny couches, and itsy, bitsy microwave ovens. She learned to pretend that trip. It was all fun and games until the mini bed-incident. She hadn't quite gotten the gist of pretending yet, and she mistakenly tried to lay on top of a 4x4 inch bed to go night-night. It broke, of course, and we thought she had learned her lesson. One night we were all having family dinner upstairs, and Dan and I (with our parental intuition) instinctively noticed that she was awfully quiet downstairs...this always means trouble. Dan took the initiative and went down to check out the scene. We all heard him when he shouted, "NOOOOOO-on-no-no-no-no-no-no!"

Apparently Addie still thought she was able to use all of the furniture/accessories of the doll house just like she would if they were life-size. Dan later told us that when he went down to see what she was up to, he turned the corner to see Addie crouching down with her pants and diaper down around her ankles, squatting over the worlds tiniest, miniature toilet...about to do....SOMETHING! Dan caught her just in time.

And that is how Addison learned to pretend that trip. Here's a picture of the toilet...
