She did it!

She did it, she did it, yay! (Sung with the theme music to Dora).

On Monday, we went to Target who had big girl panties on sale and bought a bunch of them. Therefore, the past two days, Miss Priss has been only in panties (except during naptime -- oh, yeah, she's taking a nap again, kind of). Anyway, I figured I'll have to give it a fair shot this time. So, Tuesday, after 3 accidents, she went to take a nap.* She woke up dry. I told her to go sit on the potty. She didn't want to, but when Daddy suggested it (not ordered or anything, merely suggested), she went, sat down and peed. So exciting. And she was rewarded with chapstick.

Yesterday, as soon as she was up, I put her in panties. She kept telling me that she needed a diaper because she needed to poop. Evil b**** that I am, I told her too bad. She had to go in the potty because I didn't want her to poop on the floor or in her panties. After sitting down and watching Dora for a while, she came to me and said, "I pooped, Mommy."
"Where?" (It's only a natural response to want to find the mess and clean it up.)
"In the potty."
Against all "expert" advice, I was very skeptical. But, sure enough, she pooped in the potty. I couldn't believe it! That was the first time ever. So, even though I'm sure we'll have multiple accidents today, I know she can do it and that she's ready. She's starting to relax about it a little more, and, therefore, so am I. I think this might be the start we needed.

Oh, and I haven't had any trouble reading the word verifications for Blogger. Maybe I just needed to vent and suddenly I can read them better.

*Naptime is still hit or miss, but that's an inconsistancy on my part. Bad mommy. I'm trying to at least create a quiet time. She needs it, I need it.
