Ten minutes ago I changed Kylie’s diaper and put her in her pajamas, and as usual she dirties her diaper 5 minutes later. I only knew because she told me she had to go potty, but when she said it she was touching her bottom like she does when it’s dirty and so I asked her if she needed to go or if she had already gone. She answered and said “I peed in my diaper”, and I said “ok, do you still want to sit on the toilet?” and she said “yes.” So into the bathroom we go and I get her ready and sat her on the toilet, I then went into my room to get a new diaper, because her old one was in fact wet. Pretty normal routine, we have done this hundreds of times before, except for one difference. This time when I came back with her new diaper I heard an unusual sound just as I entered the bathroom it was a “plop” sound. I immediately asked her what that was and she said “I go poopy” and I made a huge deal out of it, congratulating her and smiling, telling her how proud I was and how amazing it is that she went poopy on the toilet. She laughed and smiled and got all excited about it too, even giving me high fives. Hopefully this is the first of many more to come, and we can really see this potty training thing take off. I never knew going poop could be so exciting! I know it is odd, but I am so happy I was able to be there for this “first,” as I have missed a lot of them due to being away for work. I am so proud of you Kylie!
