Pottying

Sometimes I really struggle with the whole potty thing. I forget that DD needs help as much as she does. I guess that's the downside of having such a fiercely independent child who learned to potty before she was two.

Take today for example. we pottied her in the night-took her to the bathroom while she was asleep, she peed and we put her back to bed-she never woke up.

This morning, she didn't have to go upon wakening. She held it until we dropped DH off at work. She LOVES to use the toilet there. I guess it's nicer than the one at home.

We did all of our running around, went to the play place at the KPRC then to McD's for our 'treat'. That's from 9 until 1:00 without using the potty. I was the next one in line, after what felt like a five minute wait, and she comes tearing across the restaurant "I have to go pee. I have to go pee. I have to go right now." That means stop everything and go to the toilet now in DD's world. You have less than one minute. We made it, but she was peeing as I sat her down. Whew.

She's been twice since we've been home. I've needed to attend as the wiping part isn't so good yet. I know it's part of growing up, but I'm really looking forward to not having to be in the bathroom at the same time as a small child.
