Pee!!

Yes, I am excited about pee! Over the past two months, Emily has twice made puddles on the bathroom floor while waiting for the tub to fill, so I hatched a plan to try to avoid more puddling. I put a potty on the floor next to the tub, put her on it (in her birthday suit) while the tub was filling, and she sat there and played with a toy until it was time to get in the bath. I had done it one other time, and she didn't want to sit there and just hopped into the tub. But this time, when she stood up, there was pee!!! She did it!! I don't care if this is all she does for the 6 months, or the whole year, because that's one diaper every 2 days that I don't have to change - or, one puddle that I don't have to clean up. Maybe I can teach her the sign for potty while she's sitting there? Or maybe she'll decide that's a nicer way to deal with pee than keeping it with her in her pants. Or maybe she'll never do it again, but it was sure a fun thing to do tonight. My baby is such a big girl now!!
