Too Much Information...

I had to share this story... (it involves poop, so Brad you may want to stop reading here.)

We are working really hard with Hannah right now on her potty training. She is very consistent with peeing on the potty and has been for quite sometime but pooping on the toilet is what is holding her back from being 100% trained. We have made a sticker chart and she gets a sticker every time she goes and after she gets a whole row of 7 stickers she gets a little present. I have a little stash of new books for her 'potty presents' and she is very motivated to earn stickers and get a new book. She is getting better each day but she still isn't 'making it' to the toilet in time when she needs to poop. What I mean by getting better is that she at least is going into the bathroom and saying that SHE went poop in her pants instead of trying to tell us that the cat or the dog went in her pants not her. What can I say she has a vivid imagination...

Tonight just before bedtime Victoria was sitting on the floor and she was 'grunting'. Hannah rats Victoria out... 'Victoria's going poop! Mommy! Victoria's going poop!' She then tells Victoria to 'run to the potty' which is what we are drilling into Hannah's head. So I take of Victoria's diaper and sit her on the toilet... and Victoria sat there and actually pooped on the potty! Hannah was so excited and Victoria was laughing and giggling (I was even a little thrilled... one less diaper for me to change!) After Victoria got off the potty Hannah informed me that Victoria needs a sticker and a chart too. I think I have created a monster with the sticker chart... now Hannah is trying to use Victoria to get stickers!
