  • I-Poo-Poo!

    Dear Kristen,

    Potty training has officially started!

    Well, we have bought you the little potty (to be placed on top of the adult's toilet bowl) some time ago, but you only started recently indicating that you are going to poo-poo/ have poo-pooed/ are poo-pooing.

    So about 2 weeks ago, Mummy told Aunty Belle to start trying to put you on the potty each time you say that and have not yet poo-pooed. So far, Aunty Belle has told Mummy that you were successful for about 2 times. In the past weekends, you have not indicated so Mummy did not get a chance to let you use the potty.
     
    BUT! Just earlier today, while Mummy was feeding you lunch (or rather at the end of it), you stood up and refused to sit down. Mummy tried to convince you as usual, but this time, you declared "I-POO-POO". I checked your diaper but there was nothing there... And since you refused to sit down, I guessed you really were going to poopoo. So... We quickly rushed out the potty-seat.. and GASP. The one at Grandma's house was still not opened yet! So I had to set up the seat and stick the cushion-stickers onto the bottom of the seat.

    By the time we were done, you still had not poo-pooed yet. PHEW. So I sat you on the potty, and you were so good about it! You sat still and didn't budge. Then I just chatted with you, tried to make encouraging poo-pooing noises... and soon enough (say about 5 minutes?), I heard a nice satisfying splash. Teehee..

    When you were done, I washed you up... and ta-da! Your first poo-poo in the toilet bowl with Mummy.

    I'm so proud of you!!! I know it must sound very silly, but, I did feel very emotional after you managed to poo-poo like a big girl. You're really becoming more and more independent now.

    Love,     
    Mummy
