Well, even after yesterday's realization that Laurel is probably too young for toilet training, I tried again this morning. Instead of peeing on the floor, like she did on Tuesday, she sat happily on the potty for about five minutes. I was surprised that she agreed to sit still for so long! But nothing resulted.
After this we went back into her room so I could put a diaper on her, but then I remembered I needed to get something from the bathroom across the hall. So I set her in the crib for about 15 seconds.
When I came back, the crib sheet was drenched with pee, which she was exploring curiously.
Yes, it would have been far easier to simply change her diaper this morning, skipping the entire potty step. I'd rather not start my morning by doing a load of laundry, bathing a baby, and wiping down a mattress.
But is it a promising sign that she isn't waiting for a diaper to relieve herself? Or is it just coincidence? Is she at least building awareness of her bodily functions?
