There is always an upside..even to pain

Today I noticed my son crossing his legs clearly trying to avoid wetting his pants. This really was great because he has not yet mastered potty training completely. He now holds it for hour vs minutes but still he isn't interested in stopping what he is doing to go or tell someone he has to go thus leading to accidents etc. I was so thrilled he was trying to hold it but I wanted to run him to the bathroom and in my mini tizzy he was caught off guard and dropped his ipad on my toe. Can't lie, I wanted to cry like a baby. It hurt so much but honestly we had to get out of the house to get to therapy on time so crying had to take a back seat. I was trying not to make a huge deal of it but I was really hurt. I didn't say much but the next thing I know my baby boy was crying and saying "I'm sorry I'm sorry!" I almost fell over. Pain went right out the window. I was so excited that he expressed empathy without me even telling him that he had hurt me. It was really amazing I can't say it enough. He really is moving right along. As soon as I told him it was alright and that I was fine and thanks for saying sorry he was fine too. There is an upside to every situation, even a half broken toe ;).
