Having said that, I will continue
According to Erik Erikson's theory of child development from 18 Months to 3 Years is the phase of Autonomy vs. Shame and doubt. This is a time that we can be very vulnerable. If we're shamed in the process of toilet training or in learning other important skills, we may feel great shame and doubt of our capabilities and suffer low self-esteem as a result. As a mother, I would want to raise a confident child. So when something like this happens it begs the question.. What to do (do)???
Now the obvious answer is to grab the camera, and Chris and have a quick laugh before deciding how to proceed. Maddy's new favorite thing to say is poe-poe, so I suppose it was just a matter of time until we took our curiosity and fascination right to the source. I'm thankful it was well formed and not used to create a mural on the wall using a medium not found at Michaels. I will leave it at that.
I think when they miss the newspapers like that, you're supposed to rub their noses in it.
