Goodbye to Diapers??????

I never thought I would get excited about pee-pee! Tonight, Maura who just turned 2 announced to her Daddy, her 3 sisters, and me that she was going to sit on the big girl potty. We all laughed at how adorable she was......and then turned our attention back to American Idol. A few minutes later, she emerged with no pants and no diaper on her cute little dimpled bottom insisting "I pee. I pee." She was so excited, clapping for herself and grinning from ear to ear. Out of curiosity (and to make her happy), I went to check the potty seat as I have done a million times and all the while expecting to see the bottom as dry as a bone. But, what to my wondering eyes did appear......yellow liquid! Could it possibly be that my baby peed on the potty with no coaxing and no assistance? I felt like I just hit the lottery. My mind was racing with the prospect of seeing my last of 4 children exit diapers! Wow, what will I do with my new found wealth? As I was making grandiose plans for our new-found family wealth, my 2 year old little potty genius says "uh-oh. Mommy". I walk to the dining room only to find her bare bottom positioned perfectly over the heating/ air vent and clear liquid running from her leg into the vent. Okay....maybe we have a little more work to do before we can say goodbye to diapers for good!
