Many of you thought I was crazy trying to potty train a 14 month old. Maybe so, but it is paying off! Addie is doing so well, tonight she proved to me a little too well.

Let me start by saying I know I have much back blogging to do, WinterPalooza, more early morning car rides, a few kidisms etc… I will, someday. Tonight, she made me laugh so hard, and yet feel so bad, I had to post almost immediately.

I was doing homework and Addie had been in bed about an hour when I heard her start to stir. This is nothing out of the ordinary, and she usually puts herself right back out. Tonight however, I head her start to sob. She repeatedly said “oh, nooooo…. OH Nooooo….. OH NOOOO!!!!….” So eventually got up to see what was going on. I walked in the door and she immediately started crying and saying “too LATE, TO late, toooo LATE, TO LATE!” and sobbed. “Mommmyyyy, tooooo laaaate!” she said. I had no idea what she was talking about, I went over and picked her up to calm her.

What am I too late for? What is she talking about? How can I fix this? All went through my head. Then…

She cried on my shoulder for a minute more, picked her head up, put her tiny hand on my cheek and said “Potty… Tooo Late” in a VERY calm voice all while slowly shaking her head no.

Fears? Gone. Concern? Gone. Laughter…. starting up. I smiled and told her it was ok and we would fix it. Next time we would be faster. I put her on the floor to change her expecting to see poop. Nope, pee. a VERY small amount of pee. I really hope this is not a sign of things to come. If that child wakes up and flips out every time she pees… we are in for some Looooong nights.

As of now, it is 10:00 pm. If she gets me up again my dear readers, there will be another post to inform you. I do like where this is going though. At 20 months she is concerned about peeing in diapers. Now if I can only get her to be that concerned mid-day when she is running around like mad and distracted by invisible butterflys and things that jingle…
