First Accident

We have been doing pretty well with going in the potty although, we are not to the point where she can tell me she has to go. After lunch today, I took her up to go potty.

After she went, she wanted to wear just her elmo panties so I let her. We were just organizing some of her spring clothes in her room and she was playing and having a good time. After a little while, I asked her to go potty once again but she said no, so I didn't push it.

It was getting to be nap time so I was just putting a few more things away and she ran downstairs to get her bebe. Literally, not even a minute or two after she came downstairs, I hear her yelling:

"Mom, I sink(think) it's water!", "I sink it's water, Mom!"

I came running downstairs to find she had peed all over the couch.

I wasn't thrilled with what she had done but I was having a hard time not laughing at her telling me it was water. I also knew I had made the rookie mistake of asking her to go to the potty instead of telling her to go potty. I also knew from the books that you can't get mad at them for doing it - you just calmly clean them up and move on. So, that's what we did.

Lucky for us, our couch is Dry Clean only so I guess I'll be taking the covers to the dry cleaners when she wakes up!
