Last night when I came home from school, I found myself writing a long note to The Princess's teacher and classroom staff.
You see, I had received a rather uncomfortable voicemail telling me that she was out of Pull-Ups at school, and that they had been borrowing them from the other kids for a few days now. Mrs. G., the poor thing, went so far as to ask in this message if we were having financial difficulty in purchasing training pants, offering to try to find help for us if necessary.
The thing is, well, no one ever actually told us that we needed more Pull-Ups until this voicemail. There we were, me and The Hubbs, toodling along thinking everything was hunky dory, when - BAM! It turns out there's been a silly miscommunication that turned into The Princess's teacher having to call and leave this message on my cell while I was at work.
So, between my psychology test and my Spanish class, I ran out and purchased Pull-Ups to send to school. After Spanish, I drove home and looked at The Princess's notebook (which had no previous notes about training pants...) and the papers in her folder. The daily report sheet had Pull-Ups circled and highlighted with a note in all caps saying "NONE LEFT." And it was underlined.
I had to giggle.
There I sat, cross-legged on the floor by the coffee table, writing an apology for the Great Pull-Up Shortage of 2011. After the apology, I included a note stating that The Hubbs and I would be attending the potty training seminar that is being presented at The Princess's school next Friday. I have the day off, and I'm actually excited about it.
Funny how our perspective changes over time, ain't it?
Oooh, a potty training seminar? Cool!!! I'm anxious to hear how that goes and what ideas they give you guys. You should have told the teacher that you don't understand the big deal; at home she goes commando all the time!
ReplyDeleteYep, it's through the special education district that runs The Princess's school program. The nurse has been talking about this potty training method for kids with special needs, and I'm interested to see how it differs from what we've tried so far. I'm so sick of buying Pull-Ups that I'll try anything once!
ReplyDeleteWe'll let you know how it goes.
And the commando comment? Yeah. I love you, girlie. :)
