I scared daddy last night...

Don't worry - nothing bad at all!  For months now, mom and dad have been telling me when I wake up in the middle of the night that I can go potty all by myself and go back to bed.  But for some reason if I wake up, I stay in bed and call for mom.  I ask her to come meet me in the bathroom, I go potty, then climb right back in bed and go back to sleep.  Sometimes she talks to me over the monitor and convinces me to go by myself.  Last night I decided that I *didn't* need help and got up all by myself!  Mom didn't hear me over the monitor at all (she was asleep) and daddy was sitting in his office in the room across the hall from mine.  I opened my door, walked out, closed the door again (presumably so kitty didn't get in my room while I was gone), looked at daddy and said "Hi!  I'm going potty!"  Daddy was a little surprised to hear my door open!  I then proceeded to go about my business and go back to my room.  I stopped at my door, said "Good night, I love you, mwah!"  And that was the last daddy heard from me.  He thought mom had talked to me over the monitor and told me to go by myself.  Mom woke up when daddy went to bed, so he asked her if she had talked to me.  She said no and that she didn't even hear me!  Kind of surprising since she's such a light sleeper, but definitely a step in the right direction!  Needless to say, mom and dad are SUPER proud of me!
