Oh the Joys of Poop

I knew it would come, it happened with the Big One too. So I knew it was just a matter of time. The Little One has becomes obsessed with seeing the pee and the poop in her diaper.

I suppose I should be happy about it. I think it’s a sign that the concept of peeing and pooping is becoming more real to her. When I change her diaper, she insists now I seeing the poopies or pee-pee. So I usually oblige and show her the dirty diaper.

Yesterday she told me, “no poopie,” when I got her up. But I of course could smell different. So I showed her the poop. I think she was confused on which is which. She tells me there is no poop when there is and vice versa with pee. So I think she had them backwards. In order to set her straight, I show her the diaper.

I think she is getting the concept a little better now. She did pee once on the potty last week. I think she really wants to go to pre-school with her sister. I keep reinforcing that she has to go on the potty in order to go to school. {She also has to turn two!}

So we have now entered the phase of sitting on the potty forever. And just like the Big One, she wants the FixItMommy to “SIT DOWN” in there with her. Yes she yells it at me. I almost forgot all the fun of having a potty somewhere in my house with a naked child sitting on it. Good thing for all of us, I of course shared those moments with you.

Note to self: Don’t give the Little One the dirty diaper with the premise of her putting it in the trash. I did this yesterday afternoon. The Husband came home at the same time so I wasn’t really paying attention to what the Little One did with the diaper. I found it a few hours later in the toilet in our bathroom. Man those suckers can hold some water. I was shocked with the weight of it when I pulled it out of the toilet. I guess it’s just another sign that she really is aware of the potty process.
