Pee-Pee on the Po-tay!

Two nights ago, I came upstairs while Tula was still in the shower and John was doing the bath/bedtime routine. He asks me, "So, what do we do when she actually pees on the potty?" Every night, before her shower he takes off her diaper and asks her if she wants to try and go potty before she gets in the shower. You can tell she has to go, and once the shower water is turned on she is desperate to get in the water and relieve herself. Sometimes she will sit on her little potty and makes the "psssssssss" noise that I make to show her how to pee. I have no idea how that started. Anyways, in response to his question, I basically said "We freak out. We make a huge deal about it. Did she really go pee?" He said that he did freak and confirmed that she did in fact pee on the potty. She also held her own hand in her stream of pee the entire time? I guess I won't complain too bad about that till she makes a habit of it....probably just trying to make sense of the whole thing I guess. Anyways, it was straight into the shower anyways so I guess I will let it slide. I went into the bathroom and peeked through the shower door and asked her if she peed on the potty, Tula had a huge smile and kept pointing to herself and nodding her head yes. She was so proud of herself!

I confesss I am a little jealous that I didn't get to be there to witness the first pee pee on the potty. But it may not have happened if I wasn't there. I have made a point of being there for shower time the last two nights and she hasn't done it since so we will see how long it takes for me to get to see. I a not in too much of a rush with the whole thing. We will continue to do the before bed potty time and maybe when that catches on a little we will encourage it more. For now, we will continue to let Tula lead the way on this one. Good job on your first pee pee Tula! You surprise us everyday!
