It's every working mom's worst fear - missing a major milestone while you're at work. Could anything make you feel more guilty than having someone report to you that little Johnny took his first step while you were busily meeting with Bob from Accounting? Nope.
With Little A being over 2, I didn't think there were really any more milestones I could miss. But I did. Little A has been seemingly "holding it" while she's in school. Each day there are three dry diapers circled on her daily report sheet. As soon as we get home, she promptly lets loose. It cracks us up, and I figured she'd stop (or rather go) when she got more comfortable at school. Her teacher and I were discussing this and she mentioned that maybe she would try Little A on the potty since she can obviously control that stuff. She didn't bring it up again, and today when I picked her up, the teacher said "Well, another dry day, but no big deal since she went on the potty last time that happened!" Screeeeecchhh. Hold up, what? She went on the potty? When? How? And why didn't I know about this?
"Are you sure you're talking about Little A?" I asked. "Yup," she answered. I turned to Little A and asked her if it was true. She calmly nodded like, yeah, no big deal mom, I can go on the potty, I just choose NOT to when you're around." And that was that.
Not sure where to go from here, since she continues to answer my questions about potty training with "Not yet," "I wear diapers," and my personal favorite "I'll go in the potty on Sunday." So I guess I won't push her to duplicate that little feat, although I am quite curious to see it for myself. I guess as milestones go, I'm okay with missing this one. But I'll be sure to take some pictures next time it happens and pretend its the very first time. Don't worry, I won't share.
