Ally is our heavy heavy sleeper and because of that, she still wears pull ups at night. We tried a while ago to give that up but she just didn't wake up until morning no matter what we tried. But she REALLY REALLY wants to wear underware. So every morning the first thing she tells us is whether she wakes up dry or not. So here's this mornings conversation...
Ally: Mommy, Mommy, I didn't wet my pull up last night!!
Me: Oh, you didn't. Good job!
Ally: Can I wear panties now?
Me: After a couple nights of being dry you can.
Ally: Ok.
Off she goes. She runs off and changes out of her favorite pj's into new pjs. This is really weird because these are the pajamas she has to wear all of the time. She just tells me it's because the other ones "fell into the toilet".
Later that day, Em finds wet panties on the floor, (BLAH!). and brings them to me. I then check her bed. Sure enough it's wet. This is what I pieced together....
Ally, getting ready for bed, completly ignores me when I tell her to put a pull up on, (she does that if I don't actually check). Has an accident. In the morning realizes, hmmm, this isn't good. So she quickly takes them off and puts on a dry pull up. Seeing a rare opportunity, she runs into our room and declares the good news. She then realizes her wet pajamas and takes them off, because remember, "they fell into the potty". So what does she say when I confront her with the bald face lie and evidence? just a quiet, "oh". And off she went.
I was pretty impressed with the planning and strategy that she put into that. Obviously she needs to learn a little lesson on deception but behind the scenes I was laughing.
Later that day, they were playing outside and Emily comes running in, declaring she needs to "go" now. She said to me, "Ally said I'm doing the potty dance and I need to go potty. She told me to come inside."
Ally is just too smart for her own good I think!

We don't give this girl enough credit for her crafty planning abilities! LOL Her standard answer to things you ask is, "I can't," or "I don't know how." Uh, not buying that so much anymore. In fact tonight she and I were matching VHS tapes to their boxes and four times in a row she looked at the title on the black VHS tape and told me which title it was. I'm sure it's a lot of memorizing from seeing them and Emily reading them, but she's retained the words in her mind. Smart girl!
