The Big Girl Potty

I forgot to tell everyone that Katelyn is working on using the big girl potty! We put her on the potty every once in awhile in hopes that she'll go. She's been going pee on the potty a couple times a day, and we always make a big deal and celebrate in hopes that she'll be excited too. Yesterday she went pee on the potty and was really excited. I told her if she went poop on the potty she would get a suprise! During her snack around 10am she said she had to go poop so we ran to the potty and sat there.... and sat there.... and finally went back to eating (after we flushed and washed our hands, of course). A few minutes after returning to our snack she told me again that she had to poop, so we ran to the potty... this time we only had to sit there for a minute and she pooped! YAY! I was so excited! She kept saying "I hear it Mommy, I hear it!". It was so cute! When she was all done I let her see it, she was very interested in looking at it. She flushed the toilet and then freaked out because the poop was gone! "I see it again Mommy!" with tears running down her face, she did not want it to go bye bye. After she calmed down she looked back in the toilet and waved and said "bye bye poop!". Today we tried to go poop on the potty again, but she didn't get it out. We will try again tomorrow! What a joyous event!!!
