If you think our child’s bathroom issues are TMI, then we advise you to skip this milestone post…
I have never, ever been more excited about poop than I am today. I know we said Maeve pooped on the potty a long time ago, but it was like once or maybe twice and kind of an accident as it wasn’t a purposeful decision on her part. As parents, we of course wanted to give credit to that event, but today is much different.
After months of talking about it and encouraging her, but ultimately just giving her a diaper when she needed one we declared that there were no more diapers. After almost a week (she was strong, even in the face of laxative-laced smoothies), Maeve pooped in the potty today for the very first time (again)! We are desperately hoping this is the break through we’ve been waiting for.
Oh, and for those of you keeping track of the major goods I stocked the bribery bag with, she chose the rocket balloons as a reward for her success today!
