A Baby Sense of Modesty

One thing about raising a baby is that you always are looking and preparing for their next stage of development. When should they are talking, crawling, talking, etc…. For Mimi it is time for her to start potty training. Every morning we put her on the toilet and sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn’t. Usually she tells us when she is doing her business but only when she has already started. I heard that some kids get trained as early as 1 year and a half; of course some gets trained as late as 4. I am not really worried when Mimi gets potty trained though, I figure in the end we all figure it out. What is very interesting about Mimi is that for about ½ a year now she picked up this strange sense of modesty when she is doing business number two. She doesn’t want anyone around, doesn’t want anyone to see her, hold her or be around her vicinity. She usually finds a corner or goes to a room where no one else is and does it (however it is never the bathroom!). I am not sure where or when she decided that pooping is a private and personal matter but it’s really cute when you stumble on her while she is doing it. She will quietly tell you to go away and leave her alone. Watch this video and see…for those of you who don’t understand Chinese when Mimi says “Ba-Ba Jou Kai” it translate to ‘Daddy Go Away”.
