The sign

In the 21 months of laylabug's little life she's never gone potty in the bathtub or on mommy and daddy while they changed a diaper. So I shouldn't be surprised at all that she can hold it.

Today she was enjoying a very usual long bath complete with water that had to be rewarmed twice when she stood up suddenly and yelled 'all done ready' and though it was sudden I just assumed she finally got bored and cold. After all her feet were prunes.

So out of the tub we went and she wiggled about while I did her hair. I was slightly suspect when she didn't start playing w the tin of hair pretties like she normally does. Then I had her stand on the counter and I put a diaper and clothes on her.

When I sat her on the floor she ran into mommy and daddy's room and hid behind the door. And just then the potty noises started. She came out and gave me a big sigh and I watched relief wash over her. She made it.

Thursday when I get paid we'll buy a potty. This combined with the fascination of wanting to watch others go potty and applauding when they come out of the restroom are signs the times are changing. I just need to get supplies and give it a go.

Imagine how excited she'll be when we tell her she can have princess panties.
