Poo poo in the potty!

I know, gross subject, but big excitement in our house! We've been halfheartedly introducing Ellie to potty training for the last few months. This really means that on the weekends we sometimes put her potty in the middle of the living room and let her run around without a diaper, in hopes of catching her in time to put her on the potty. She's gone "pee pee" in the potty once this way. This afternoon though Lori found her pooping in the potty all by herself and she was so proud!


Later note: Just an hour after we posted this, Ellie went pee pee, too! She was just as excited and couldn't wait to get her sticker reward. I think we'll be going diaperless tomorrow afternoon, too!

I'm sure Ellie will love that you have this video later in life! LOL

But for now..way to go Ellie! Wouldn't it be nice if she was trained before the new baby!

Save this youtube. Great blackmail material later...

"What do you mean, you're staying out later than your curfew? Do you want me to send all your pals that pee-pee video?"

;=)

Too funny! Yes, we already have a file of blackmail-able material! It starts with her 6-month naked JC Penny portrait!

Lucky for her, YouTube will probably have been replaced by something this video will be incompatible with :-)

It's funny the things parents find to be normal conversation. Talking about poop during dinner? No problem!
