Poop.

Yup, Evie went "Poo-poo on the potty!" (M&M's and stickers! This is the phrase Evie know consistently shouts out after every single pee-pee on the potty experience... cracks us up!)
So today is what... day 12 (oh, yes, duh, we started on January 1!) of potty training! So, 2 weeks in and she had zero accidents today (she even wore pants with a button and zipper today... no cheating elastic-waited bands) and a poo-poo on the potty! Now, I can't say we are 100% potty trained but MAN, pretty darned successful I think!!!

At last post, we gave Evie Magnesium Citrate on the 7th, after 4 days of no poo-poo's. She went twice that night.
On Saturday, the 9th, I caught her going in her panties while at a friend's playdate -YIPE! Let's NOT go into what a freaking mess that was (oh, the utter embarrassment that is being a mother... I've learned to quickly get over such disasters knowing that a bigger one will be on my near horizon). She pooped 2 MORE TIMES that Saturday (making up for lost time I s'pose) and each time I tried to whisk her to the potty. On the third poop she did announce, "Uh Oh!" moments after it happened but we didn't make it on time (I had learned from the panties incident earlier that morning and she had a pull-up on for the remaining 2 poopies of the day... thank goodness).
Sunday and Monday were.... poopless days. So, as a result of 3 days of constipation, tonight's adventure was met with many, many, many, I honestly cannot exaggerate the stress-levels of many, many tears while telling me "it hurts." It was awful. When I gave her a pull-up to go in she insisted on a diaper... but we have none! So when I offered to lay her down and try to somehow 'help out' in some capacity she cried even more hysterically, "NO! Go poo-poo on the potty!" So, there we sat and watched, cheering her on, and coaching 'cause, as stupid as this sounds, kids don't freakin' KNOW how to poop while sitting down! They've never done this before! So, we told her how to push, wait, count, try, breathe, lean forward... then voila!
Quietly Evie said, "poo poo in the potty."
And there it was!
