My daughter has always had a quirky personality. She used to make this face that made her look like a pirate all the time. She also taught us why diapers need to stay on and how easy they are to get off. My first huge fail as a parent was when Aria was about a year old. I turned on the shower so the temperature could adjust, got her undressed and made the mistake of thinking she could wait while I got undressed too. Largest puddle ever. This was followed a few months later by Mark undressing her so she could shower with me again, but instead of telling me he did it, I was using the restroom and in runs this naked toddler. About a minute later she looked at me very distressed and I saw the growing puddle on the bathroom floor. I started laughing so hard that it took me a minute to even be able to call Mark to get a towel. I was holding her to keep her from falling and she ended up slipping and sitting in it anyway.
She has also been showing a huge interest in the potty for months. I knew she was too little and with Mark deploying and Elena on the way, I wasn't even going to attempt. Today she decided that she is ready. She always tells me she needs to be changed by coming to get me or just bringing me a diaper. Well, she came to get me and I was feeding Elena so I told her she needed to wait a minute and she went off into her room, which I assumed meant she was going to bring me a diaper. Next thing I know there is a half naked toddler running down the hallway from her room to the bathroom. I put Elena down in her swing and went to put Aria's diaper back on, and she's in the bathroom standing in a little puddle. The diaper and pants she took off were in her room completely dry. Looks like I'm going to be buying a potty tomorrow.
