Ahh, the potty

Well, after much time spent sitting on the potty--and I'm talking MUCH time, we finally have success!
A couple of months ago, we tried to potty train her and just ended up with a lot of time sitting on the potty without a lot of pee or poop happening.
Here's daddy resting on the fan during one of the "potty sessions". We kind of gave it up for a while and then a few weeks ago we got her "big girl panties". She had 9 accidents the first day, 5 on the second, and it just got better from there. She's now going pee pee in the potty every day and accidents are rare!
A few days ago, she finally went poopie in the potty. We were so excited! We wiped and flushed and then she said she had more. So she sat down and went some more--every few minutes for the next half hour!! She is truly daddy's girl in this area. Anyway, she loves trying to poop in the potty now and our current problem is getting her to get off the potty when she is determined to poop, but nothing has happened for 20 minutes! Ahh, the joys of parenthood. :)

I loved that picture of Bo and Melia in the front of your web site, those wigs are sure something! Man, I'm not so looking forward to potty training. Bo's face in that picture said it all.

Such a cutie. You had me laughing out loud.

After having given birth to 2 children, I can honestly say I'd rather give birth to twins than potty train. It is so consuming and maddening! Congratulations, Melia!

The accidents are still a daily occurrence around here. Grrr... But hey- I tagged you in my last post- check it when you get a chance. ;)
