Leah is already out of bed, doing what Tina immediately recognizes as the potty dance.
"I need the potty!" Leah blurts out. Tina picks her up and rushes her to the bathroom. She pops open the flap on Leah's onesie, rips off the diaper, and sits her on the toilet. Leah beams proudly as she begins to grunt.
"Good work!" Tina says. Leah finishes pooping, then pees. When she's done, she hops off the toilet. Tina wipes her before taping her clean diaper back on.
"I held it!" Leah crows. Tina nods as she flushes the toilet.
"Yes, you did! I'm very impressed! If you keep this up, you'll be potty trained in no time."
"Awesome!"
"But next time you need to go potty, come get me right away," Tina says firmly. "You might not get much warning until you get better at using the potty." Leah nods. "All right, I'll check you in the morning."
Tina watches Leah waddle back to her room, then goes back to bed.
When she wakes up in the morning after some pleasant dreams, she goes to Leah's room. It's a very different story from before. She can smell the load in Leah's diaper the moment she sets foot inside the room.
Leah sleeps through the very messy diaper change, and Tina is left with a decision of whether to finish getting Leah ready for daycare while she's sleeping or wake her up.
