Guess what! We potty trained Evelyn...well I suppose it is sort of still a work in progress although accidents aren't a common thing now. I just thought I'd share a couple of hilarious potty training experiences from the past month. Potty humor all the way...beware :)
Day one of Evelyn sitting on the potty was great. I had her sit on the potty while I took a mommy shower (you know the ones that only last 2.5 minutes because you're afraid what will happen if you stay in longer than that?). While I toweled off I heard Evelyn yelling. I couldn't understand what she was saying at first, but once I my brain started processing I heard her yell, "No kid! You gotta get out of there kid! I'm going to poop on you. You gotta run. I don't like that! You don't play in poop. Run kid! RUN!!!" I had absolutely no idea what was going on. Rhett was down for his morning nap and as far as I knew, no one else was home. I came out of the bathroom to her still shouting and realized I had forgot to tell her that her potty played a song when she pooped or peed in it. At the end of the little fanfare a chorus of kids voices shouted "yay!" She proceeded to tell me that there was a kid in her potty and that she had pooped on him because she had nowhere else to poop, and that the kid was still in the potty playing...
I laughed...a lot.
In the beginning, every single time she has to go potty during the night she comes into our room, gets super close, and whispers in one of our ears "I have to go pee pee". Scared the living daylights out of me the first couple of times!
Thank heavens she is getting more confident on her own now.
We ordered her a super cute princess dress from the Disney store and once she fills a special poop sticker chart she gets the dress. She runs around the house chanting "I poop I get the dress" over and over again. She is getting close!
Earlier this week she pooped in the potty and when I walked by she was sitting there and yelled "Hey mommy!" I stopped in and she said, "I pooped...this one is a boy, and he is handsome!"
Kevin feels a lot less awesome when she calls him handsome now...
I love that girl!
