Close Call

Last night Tink and I were on our way to change her diaper and get ready for her bath when one of my friends called. I was talking with my friend while I changed Tink's diaper and since I was going to be giving her a bath I went ahead and let her get up and play with her toys while I finished my conversation. I was watching her play and saw her whole body tense up. She was holding herself and said "Oh no." I quickly asked her if she had to go potty and with a quiver in her voice she said yes. I grabbed her up so fast and ran to the bathroom and as fast as I could I through her potty seat up on the toilet and then put Tink up there. Would you believe that she held it that whole time. Right after I put her on the toilet she said she had gone pee. I didn't hear it and I couldn't see that she had but she was a little wet so I believe her. I checked the floor between her bedroom and the bathroom and sure enough there were no wet spots. My little girl held it and went potty on the toilet for the first time last night. I was so happy and surprised and proud of her. Of course we had to go and tell Daddy! He was still outside from when we were watching the stars come out. He had fallen asleep but didn't mind us waking him up for that (plus he had homework he had to get done). I know we still have a long way to go, but Tink is doing great and moving at her own pace which is fine by me. After this I kept trying to give her a bath but every time her feet got wet she grabbed her little butt and said she had to poop. After pulling her out of the tub and dripping water all across the floor several times, and never getting any plopping action other than her butt plopping on the seat I had to give her a shower to keep her in the tub long enough to get clean. Really, I am in no major hurry to potty train.
