Yesterday some friends of ours had the girls over so that we could go out for Scott's birthday. (thanks Danielle and Eric). Madeline and her best friend Emma spent the day together. First the got in trouble for playing in the water at my house. Then they proceeded to get in trouble again (five minutes before we picked the girls up) at Emma's house - once again playing in the water. Where is this going? you might ask. Well, as we are driving home, Madeline who is 1/2 asleep at this point, pipes up with, "Mommy, I went potty in a bucket!" She was very excited and proud of herself for this achievement! I said, "You did WHAT?" "I peed in a bucket" Scott said, "Did you pretend potty or real potty in the bucket? Almost completely asleep at this point, "I real pottied" I (still in disbelief) said "Did you take your pants down?" Knowing that if she didn't she was just pretending. "Yes, and my panties too" Imagine the conversation we had after that about where we go potty. We had it again this morning since she was probably talking in her sleep. =) The story was confirmed by Emma's older sister, Jade. Jade said that it all started because they had filled the bucket with water and put pieces of their cookie in it. Somehow the cookie gave them the  idea to go potty in the bucket. =)
