Everybody Poops!

Dani's doin' her doody duty...


It's amazing what potty training can do to you... I spend HOURS every day keeping the girls company in the bathroom, waiting for them to pick out the perfect jelly bean or M&M and stickers after they go pee, and cleaning potty chairs for the next day. But when it all starts to work and you see how proud they are of themselves, it's totally WORTH IT! And this week has been a great week for them, culminating in a big (ahem) accomplishment - Alex pooped in the potty for the first time!!!! And Dani did too for the first time in months! And I was SO HAPPY. I think we've turned a corner. I give some of the credit to the new potties I brought home today - baby Bjorn brand "little potties" (or Squatty Potties as I'm calling them). They are simple, small, and force kids to sit in a way that's conducive to doin' their thang. I highly recommend them. Plus there's just one piece to keep clean, which should cut at least 15 minutes of sanitation out of my day!

Here are the proud poopers. When I snapped this pic, Alex (on the right) was saying, "Like a statue" since her doodie was standing up tall. ;)

I love those potties, too!

Here's to hoping you're close to the end!
