Easter Miracle

News flash..potty training stinks!!!!

We have been going at it for 2 weeks now and Ella is accident free!!! Cool huh? Only problem is she WILL NOT poop on the potty. I have tried every enticement I can think of...I even told her she could have anything and everything she wants. I guess all she really wants is to hold it.

Well, Easter came and it was a joy just like all these potty training days have been. At Church, Ella figured out how fun it was to stand up on the pew during sacrament and announce that she needed to poop on the potty (we have been sufficiently humbled). We took her out 6 times and I would have said "that is enough" but she went 4 out of the 6 times (not poop mind you)! But, then it happened (just as a side note this is going to get a little personal). After Ella's nap, Chris had to poop and then I had to poop and then Ella sat down on the potty and pooped!!!! It was our Easter Miracle!! Too bad there have been no repeats!

Just so everyone knows that we did celebrate Easter like the rest of the world. Here is a picture of Ella dying eggs. She loved mixing all the colors so most of our eggs ended up a nice brown. But, fun was had by all!

Wow. That's crazy that she's so in to it - she's so young!! I am glad for you guys though - I know how you feel about buying diapers!!! :)

Peggy told me that Chris text(ed?) her and said Happy Easter and Ella pooped on the potty or something. HILARIOUS!

You're right, this post was way TMI, but whatever works to finalize that big step of potty-training! Now, can you get her to stop announcing her needs in church!

Congrats on the potty training. It's hard but worth it. Good luck with the rest of it.
