Funny Story (Potty Training Chronicles)

So my daughter has been away from home for 4 days and yesterday, after work, I bring her home and she is just in toy heaven, pulling out everything and playing with it. (She missed home). One of her favorite activities is placing a doll in the umbrella stroller and then tipping the stroller so that the doll falls to the floor.  She then picks up the doll and while rubbing the doll's head says in the most comforting voice, "Awe, you're fine!" It's really sweet.

Then she decides that she wants to play with the potty.  So she tells me that she has to pee and I pull down her diaper and pants and around she walks, butt-naked for about an hour. Suddenly, in the most urgent voice, she says, "Oh pee pee," and she runs to the potty and picks up her shirt so that she doesn't sit on it (bright kid, I know).  And so, I wait expectantly, holding my breath, not making a sound and thinking, this is it, this is really going to happen, my baby is going to go potty and I didn't even have to train her...And then, her face all contorted like she's pushing something big out, she lets out this long (and kind of loud) fart.  She smiles, jumps up and says, "I did it!"

Looks like Aixah thinks she needs to use the potty any time she has to pass gas.  Oh, if only everyone had manners like my daughter.
