The Adventures in Peepoo... Take 3 and 4

Rachel here. Oy. Yesterday was marked with NO ACCIDENTS. This is super great but somewhat deceiving because we had her in a diaper for a while due to the fact that we went out for brunch, and she played outside with Bryan for about an hour. She did in fact make it to the potty on her own twice though. Yesterday also marked the first poo extravaganza that took place in the potty! She kept running in the bathroom saying "peepoo" and then running away. We made her stay in the bathroom and tried to get her to sit on the potty. Tons of screaming, crying, book reading, and 2 hours later... there was poop. :)

On another note... today was AWFUL. We started the morning with her undoing her diaper while she was still wearing her Christmas Eve pjs. This resulted in her peeing all over the jammies and floor. She must have peed in her diaper while she was still in her bed this morning before we went in and got her. When she came downstairs, she was fiddling with her diaper and looked like she was uncomfortable. I'll take this as a great sign though. It means she knows that chillin' in her pee is bothersome, so I hope she'll learn quickly once we put her in her underpants during the day. This was followed by another poo on the potty. This time I think Bryan only had to sit with her for about an hour. This was then followed by 3 pee accidents. One of which, she did manage to hold and then finish on her potty. She's done SOOOOO well up until today. Each time she had an accident she was super involved with one of her new toys from Santa, so I'm sure that had an awful lot to do with it. Tomorrow we keep on chuggin'!

We'll end with something super cool... Bryan noticed Reese was "reading" one of her books aloud on the potty! He thought he was going crazy when he realized she was getting 4-5 words right on each page... she's starting to memorize... YAY!!!!
