I Think She Gets It.

Last night at 4:35 am I heard a sort of funny sound coming out of the bathroom by our room. Funny for 4:35 am anyway. It sounded like R sobbed. Just 2 little sobs and it was just enough to wake me up. VERY STRANGE!! Our bedroom doors where mostly shut like normal and so she wasn't in our room so I got up and took a look in the bathroom. There she was, our little just turned 2 year old, sitting on the toilet!! Her PJ pants were off as well as her pull-up and she'd been there for a little while as she'd finished the job she'd come to do :) So I got her off, wiped her up and told her what a big girl she was!! Then she ran off to bed to get tucked in. I'm still in shock.

R is pretty much toilet trained but she has never gone on her own accord before. Normally I just tell her to go and she does. We've been working on her telling me when she has to go but I think she's happy with the way it is now and sees no reason to tell me. She's only had 2 pairs of wet pants, and one dirty in about 3 weeks. I'm going to have to stop telling her to go and wait and see if she'll catch on to telling me then.

She sure picked an odd time to go to the bathroom totally by herself for the 1st time!! I have NO idea how long she was in there but she sure was quiet! I just hope she wasn't there for hours stuck on the toilet! I don't think so though as she could stand when I got her off and so her little legs couldn't have been too numb. (J had this problem when he was little as he loved to read on the toilet.. 45 minutes later we'd kick him off and he wouldn't be able to walk his legs were so numb!!) She uses a stool to get up there but often pushes it away with her feet once she's there and so she can't get off!! That's what she'd done last night. I love that she went all by herself and knew what to do.. but I'm leery about it becoming a habit in the early hours of the night. Should be an interesting weekend!! LOL!!
