Bladder control

ailbheLinnea's bladder control is about as good as mine now, as far as we can tell. That is, she hasn't had an accident once today, and has demonstrated a few times that she has a lot of time between realising she has to go and actually going. She decided while in the downstairs bathroom that she wanted to go on her upstairs potty, and went from the bathroom at the rear of the house to the stairs at the front of the house and then up to her room. She also brought me from the front room to the back room and back again, so that I could fetch her potty to her so she could use it in her preferred location.
I'm pretty impressed. I need to buy her bigger pants, as the ones she has fit perfectly but are a little too snug to whip off in a hurry. Having bigger ones for use while out would be good.
(Other things she's learning are the Alphabet Song, the one to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle, and I have no idea where she heard it but I assume TV, and how to skip, which is causing her real trouble, but she's pretty persistent).
I sorted Linnea's room so there's a bit more space division; it's slightly awkward for an adult but perfect for her and I think will keep the mess in one half of the room, and discourage playing with the contents of the wardrobe. It also panders to her fiction that she has her own bathroom inside her bedroom; she opens an invisible door before using her potty.
