Potty training or breakfalling?

This morning, I hung out with Reagan for a bit before taking her to school. And, of course, she wanted to take a trip to the potty. Since I'm seriously wanting her to get potty trained, I'm very excited every time she seems interest.

She and I walked into the bathroom, took off her pants and diaper and I plopped her up on the toddler seat. Her habit is to play with the toilet paper unless she has to go. Today was no different, she was grabbing hand over fist more and more toilet paper to play with. So to stop this, I pulled the roll off the holder and handed her the holder thinking that would keep her preoccupied. It did...

Within moments, I was watching Reagan lean over her right side with her left hand to reach the holder on the wall in attempt to put it back. As she did this, my slow motion camera started... he left butt cheek popped up along with the toddler seat. I thought for sure she'd end up in the toilet. Next, she amazingly tucked her shoulder and head and slowly fell onto her head. Thank goodness she landed in a basket with toilet paper in it. Ugh. She immediately cried. Once I realized, she was ok - I totally laughed.

But looking back, she had the perfect break-fall... like what Sensei Steve would teach. So proud.
