It was straight out of some TV sitcom. Kaylin used her potty for the very first time since we bought the potty 10 months ago...and mommy missed the big event by 30 seconds!It was another normal night here at the House of Kaylin. Just before bath time, she stripped down to what she calls her "nudie bum" and ran around like a madwoman. We finally corralled her into the bathroom and, as she does most nights, Kaylin enjoyed a little story time while sitting on her potty. I left her and Brian for one measly minute (to use "the potty" myself), only to come back to excitement and cheers from behind the bathroom door. "What happened?" I queried. "She peed!" Brian exclaimed.
But, but, I just went down the hall for a second! But, I've been waiting months and months for this moment! But I've read her all the necessary books about Elmo using his potty and how Ernie doesn't use diapers anymore and even a book that lets you flush Grover's pee down a little toilet! But, but....I missed it!
OK, the fact is, I know that I will get to see Kaylin use her potty more times than I care to imagine over the next few years. So it's ok that I missed the first time. And I'm happy that daddy got to enjoy a big "first" this time. It was pretty exciting for him. I've been witness to many miraculous firsts so the least Kaylin could do was save a few for daddy.
Now, if we could just get her to do it again...

how come we did not get as excited when Brian used the toilet for the first time at Tilden Lake????
YEAH KK! What a big girl you are. I can not get over how fast she is growing. What a smart little one - must get that from mommy!
If you want, I can reenact for you…
Was it a 1 or 2?
Your baby is disappearing & in her place a little girl has come to play.... how exciting... Now will need to know the quickest way to the nearest bathroom in any public facility.... Big hugs to KayKay.
