So as we said in one of the recent posts, we have a potty-fest going on at our house. The kids are earning points for using the potty to take care of their bodies. When they do that in a place they are not used to, they get extra points!
Aditya got a spot award of 101 points yesterday as he broke yet another record. This was the Target Store close to our house. The kids had requested for a Christmas tree to decorate. And yes, that included Aditya, who is really keen to do it this year, and never was until this year!
So we were at the Target store, and Baba declared he wanted to use the restroom (and he really wanted to). The hand dryer in this particular store is the noisiest of all hand dryers we have seen. It is so noisy that two years ago, Aditya who had already gotten used to using a smaller dryer, became anxious all over again when he saw someone use this Target hand dryer.
Yesterday, after doing this business and washing his hands, he said to me, "I am a little scared. Can you use that first?"
Sure, said I, and began using the dryer. He looked startled with the noise it made.
Then he waited for it to stop.
Then he went for it, and used it!
Frankly we are getting used to him getting used to life like this... but even then... this marks yet another, and greater, accomplishment!
Right away I awarded 101 points to him, for he had conquered the monster than was noisier than even the one at Amber India!
