She bounced back in no time, fully potty-trained and all, my Kitty.
The night when I wrote she had a tummy ache (when she was still in the hospital), I went back to her room to find her cot empty. So was the bed. My heart skipped a beat! Whatever it was, I thought, it had to be really serious that Daddy had to go with her.
But in no time the dua beranak emerged from the bathroom. Kitreena just had her whole system flushed – right on the bed! She didn’t quite make it to the pot. In Daddy’s words, there was like a good whole cup leaking from her diaper and running down her legs. Tu belum sukat what the diaper had successfully contained. I was so relieved, not to mention Kitreena lah kan. But it just HAD to happen when I wasn’t there, eh? Muahahaha. Not that I wished I were. Daddy got his brownie point big time that night.
My girl is now home, and still being kept home from school. But she’s up and about like nothing happened. On the potty training report, it took us only 3 days before she got the hang of it. Actually Be and I had started to feel the pressure and the guilt for not being disciplined enough to start her earlier. But we moved too much too often, and she didn’t have a routine until recently. (My feel-good side of story, anyway.)
So today things are looking pretty much back to normal. I finally got to enjoy not having to leave the house, for once. And now enjoying the rythm of the rainsong. Let it rain, January!
