Big News...

We have a pooper!! I know this is TMI for some of you, but you have no idea how excited I am! Yes, this is that "big" birthday present I was talking about in my last post.

On the morning of my birthday, we were all ready to go and Maci Rose was fussing and hiding in her room not wanting to leave. This is SOOOO not like her. She loves going bye-bye! So Jeremy noticed she was working on something and grabbed her and threw her on the toilet. She had no choice but to continue since it was right in the middle!

She pooped in the toilet and we made a huge deal!!! This is huge!! She has NEVER, I repeat NEVER actually gone in the toilet. We have sat her on it many times or dumped her diaper in it, but never gone in it. BUT this is only half of the exciting news.

On Monday morning, labor day, I was walking on my treadmill and she was in undies (by her choice once again) and I heard her crying so I went to see what was the matter and she was standing outside the bathroom saying, "I not tee-tee in my panties."

I said, Oh you need to go potty?? and she said yes! I sat her on the toilet and she pooped again!! This time by herself!! She asked to go and then went when it was time!!  Can you tell how excited I am??

I have been working with her since April. That's almost half a year ago! And she has never gone in the potty.

So now I can say we have a pooper! But the reason I term it that way is because she has yet to tee-tee in the potty. How is this possible? She will wet her undies all day long, but ask to go potty when she has to go # 2? I never thought we would get #2 before #1!

Now, any pointers about the #1 thing would help?? And then maybe I'll have a little more money in my pocket with only 1 child in diapers.

Another BIG accomplishment is that she has not had a passie since last Friday at nap time. We were gone all weekend at my aunt's house and left her passie at home. So every time she would lay down I would tell her we left her passie and she'd have to get it when we got home. Since we've been home she has not asked for it. I'm completely shocked! And I get nervous every night at bedtime if she is going to ask for it and what I'm going to say.

I am extremely proud of my baby girl! She's growing up too fast!
