it did came out

today we spent all day at the inlaws and my niece, rylie (3) and nephew, caleb (5) were there.

about an hour before their bedtime, rylie informed me it was time for her bath.  i said, "okay, do you want me or papa [grandpa] to help you?"

"YOU, annnttt JOHHHHsEEEE!"

so, off we went to get the water running.  meanwhile, rylie stripped down to her bday suit and bolted around the house squealing and excited. LOL. 

i snagged her and promptly helped her in the tub.  as soon as she sat down she gleefully shouted, "LOOOOOK annnnttt JOHHHHsEEEE!  i'm PEEEEE-INNNNG!"

:-O :-O

the yellow cloud in the water by her legs confirmed her proud exclamation. 

i said, shocked, "NOonononooo!  you're not supposed to pee in your bath water!"

she had a bewildered look in her big brown puppydog eyes, "but annnttt johhhsss, it did came out by itself!"

note to self: 

    pee-free bathtime ritual checklist:

• turn on "bath nub"
  
• kid hears water (initiates pre-bath bladder emptying)
  
• kid gets nekkid and does nekkid dance of joy and runs a few laps
• TAKE NOTE OF PEEPEE DANCE MOVES (legs squeezing together, etc...)
  
• show kid "bath nub" toys (this insures the bladder has reached its maximum capacity)
  
• kid performs pre-bath bladder emptying in the "toidet"

aunt jos is now armed and ready for the next bathtime!! ;)
