These are the things they don't warn you about when you sign up to be a parent.
One of them is "potty training."
Last week, we found ourselves on the road with a toddler who wants to use the potty.
I couldn't resist capturing this moment, in the parking lot near downtown Ft. Worth on a Sunday afternoon. She gave us the sign, so we pulled out the potty from our loaded up car, and cheered her on as she did her business.
Sure, it wasn't the ideal place. It wasn't the ideal time. But the opportunity was there to help Jenna learn something new. How could we say no?
I'm hanging on to this picture as a reminder that my life lessons may not always come at a convenient time or a convenient place. But I should seize them and appreciate them all the same. Clapping and cheering in the realization that I can master the moment - whenever I am blessed with the opportunity.
Carpe diaper.
