Poopy Miracle

My first post in forever (more on that possibly later) and it is going to be about poop. It isn't going to be long. This actually could have been a facebook status - but seeing as people pick up a lot of flack when they talk about poop on facebook, I decided to document it on here.

Yesterday a miracle took place in our household. I came out of the bathroom and observed Micah and Mackenna playing peacefully. She looked at me at said "Mommy. Potty." I told her yes. She then said "Keeeena. Poopy. Potty." So I took her to the potty, and she sat up there, immediately began concentrating, and next thing I knew there was purposeful poopy successes in the toilet!! Wow!! I was so excited. My little girl is growing up.

A few things about this incident.
- I asked her what treat she wanted for going in the potty. She said a cookie. Fair enough to me. Micah is of course throwing an absolute fit about his lack of cookie. What do I do? I ended up giving her more cookies and seeing if she wanted to share some of her special cookies with Micah. She did. Interesting Dilemma.

- Curt wasn't home for the great poopy miracle of 2010. I saved the proof for him and let him flush the toilet with Mackenna when he got home. What have we become!!??
