standing up

You finally decided to try peeing standing up today. We haven't pushed it because frankly it's easier to just have you sit down, but of course we won't discourage you for wanting to do what dad does. I watched from the door as you walked as close to the toilet as you could get and stood on your tiptoes. You giggled a little and were so proud when you turned around with a big grin. I asked if you peed standing up and you said, "Yes, I did." I saw the puddle under your feet and you looked down as well and I told you to come out of the bathroom so I could clean it up. I turned to get a towel and when I returned you told me not to worry because you used your foot to clean it up. I looked down and saw a wet foot and muddy foot smears across the bathroom floor. I smiled and wet my towel and wiped your feet and the floor and told you I would help you clean it up next time. You replied, it's okay mom I can clean it up with my foot. It's just a little slippery, that's all. Ah, learning.
