Not Quite Getting It

We are working on potty training with Samantha. It is a lot of work and not a lot of fun, but I did get a laugh from it the other day.

We had gone into the bathroom and she was sitting on the potty. I heard Jacob crawling into the kitchen, so I went to check on him. When I came back near the bathroom, Samantha told me, "Mommy, I need privacy." I said "OK, call me if you need me," and closed the door. A few seconds later, she hollered "Mommy! I have a problem!" I came back to the bathroom and asked what she needs. She answered, "I can't go potty without you in here."

I smiled. And I don't think she quite gets the privacy idea.
