Raised by a pack of...dogs???

For some people, this little story will come as no surprise.  With a name like Meadow, and a nickname such as Nature Girl...we really should have seen it coming, right?

Meadow has been doing FANTASTIC with the potty training.  In fact, except for the safety-net pull-up at night, I'd say she's potty trained.  Even then...half the time, she wakes in the morning with a dry pull-up.  She's wearing big girl underwear (if that's what you call Dora underwear) all day now...I'm quite proud.  The few times she's had accidents it's been when she was having so much fun that she didn't want to stop to ask where the potty was or bother going.

So this morning, I had let the dogs out back to do their business and then the phone rang.  After about 10 minutes, I heard our little dog scratching at the sliding door to come back in.  Since I'm still on the phone and also in the middle of something, I ask Meadow to go let the dogs in.  This is nothing new to her...she lets them in and out all the time.

This time though, instead of letting them in, she decided to join them.  After I didn't hear the dogs come in or the sliding door shut, I wandered over to investigate.  To my surprise, I find my darling little Meadow standing on the deck with her pajama pants in a pile around one of her ankles and a puddle of pee behind her.  LOL.  Apparently, she had decided if going outside was good enough for the dogs, it was good enough for her.

This child of mine...lol...what am I going to do?  I was on the phone with my mom, going "OH MY GOD," and didn't have the foggiest idea what in the world to say to Meadow.  Of course, I wanted to laugh hysterically...which would have been slightly inappropriate in front of Meadow since this wasn't a show I wanted a repeat of.  My mom, on the other hand, couldn't stop laughing once I was able to take a deep breathe and tell her what the heck was going on.

Once I had cleaned up my daughter and my deck, I just knew this must be posted here for your reading pleasure.  :)

Thanks for visiting!  I'll try to post more frequently now that I'm starting to get back in the groove at work.
