Lauren had her first poop on the potty this morning!! For the past couple of weeks she will occasionally ask to sit on the potty. This past week and weekend we saw a definite increase in the requests. BUT...it's always just been a phantom sit (i.e. she sits and thinks she's gone "I DID IT!!"). We always cheer the good try and always let her sit when she asks, in hopes it would encourage the process. She's gotten very good at taking off and on her own pants and diaper. We have some asks that ended up being right AFTER said activity, versus BEFORE, which is what we assumed was the case this morning. This morning, however, was different. She told Todd she wanted to poop on the potty, so he got her all set up. Minutes later I could hear her saying, "I went poopy. I went poopy. Daddy? I went poopy on the potty". Expecting him to come in and congratulate her on a good try, yet again, I heard the surprise in his voice. "You DID go poopy! YAY!!!". We cheered her on, and rewarded her with 2 M&Ms, as promised, despite the 6am clock. :)
Granted, it's the first of many steps and mis-steps on this process, but so exciting for us nonetheless! Did I mention that an hour later she had a poopy diaper?? .... oh well.
PS. I cannot believe I dedicate a whole posting to my child's poop. Wow.

Hey... when it comes to being a parent of small children, poopy is where it's at.
Good job Lauren!!! Very exciting stuff happening in the Marschke house!
Love, C
What a precocious girl :) And I think it's cool to blog about it because someday when Lauren is a mom she'll love it! What do they have her do at school? Are there big kids in her class who go on the potty?
