The case of the missing diaper

I arrived to pick up Addison this evening from daycare (running late and eager to get home quickly for dinner) for her to promptly ask to use the potty. Uggh. I know as the mom of a potty training toddler that this is great news. But sometimes, the challenge of "using the potty" (read = minimum of ten minutes time commitment spent alternating between Addie sitting on the potty and me begging her to get back on the toilet and keep trying) can really push my patience. Anyways, got Addie into the bathroom and ready to sit on the toilet only to find the absence of any diaper or pull-up. Definately not normal. At the end of the day the daycare merges the toddler rooms together and tonight the teacher in the room had been there for about an hour.

Addie didn't use the toilet or need a change during that hour which leaves us with the following scenarios:
  1. Addie took off and hid her diaper without anyone noticing. (Unlikely since usually when she pulls up her own pants the result is very visible plumber butt. But comical to think about the teachers discover a random diaper somewhere in the room...)
  2. Addie and another tot were going to the bathroom at the same time, and Addie escaped before her teacher got a new diaper on her & teacher didn't notice. (Again, similar to #1 this relies on her pulling up her own pants...possible but unlikely.)
  3. At the end of multi-tot bathroom rotation, teacher was distracted and pulled up Addie's pants sans-diaper. (Most probable).

Either way, kudos to Addie for staying dry for 1+ hour at daycare while going commando. Good job little Mit!
