Leah is potty trained:)

Warning: Posts about Poop:)



The past few weeks have been huge for us! Last Wednesday, after having a temp of 103.6, we took Leah to the Dr to find out she had pnemonia. Poor girl! She had a cough, runny nose and, of course, a temp. After we got home from the Dr Leah climbed over the gate into the bathroom and went pee in the potty. I had been introducing Leah to the potty for over a year and have tried 3 or 4 times to really push it and she was just having none of it. So I pretty much gave up figuring I'd wait until she was 28 months or so. But apparently, Leah's ready...NOW!

I was shocked by her wanting to use the potty on her own that day, and was even more shocked when she used the potty for the rest of the day. Alright Leah! She would go randomly over the next few days, then this week it just sort of clicked for her. She has been using the potty for pee all week-no accidents and no diapers-YEAH! Then, yesterday, she shouted "Mommy, Poop!" Obviously my response was "Where?" because she has been pooping in the daiper then either dropping in the floor-awesome-or throwing it into the garbage. She said "Potty" and I ran into the bathroom to find that she had again climbed over the gate and had indeed pooped in the potty! That's my big girl! She continued over the next 20 minutes or so to go play, then run in the bathroom, poop a little on the potty and then go on her little way. So, I guess, she is now fully potty trained:)

Diapers and pull ups will still be work on car rides and during nap and at night for a while, but this is such a huge step for my little monkey. I can't believe she pretty much did it on her own. Such a big girl being potty trained at 25 months :)
