I can't believe it - she actually did it. Shortly before bathtime tonight, Emily gave me a funny look, said she had to go potty, and then she actually pooped in the potty!!! My jaw is still on the floor... amazing!!! Travis gave her three skittles for a reward, and I don't know that she's ever had skittles before so she really got a kick out of that. She asked for more, and we explained to her that if she can poop in the potty again she'll get more skittles. I guess I'll have to stock my purse and the diaper bag with a stash of skittles, because I sure don't want to discourage her out of my own carelessness. I just can't believe it. She wasn't really that impressed with herself, either, except to comment that it "tinks." She was right - it was really awful, and I thought of an acquaintance of mine that was bribing her 3-year-old son to poop in the potty and when he finally did, she threw up while she was cleaning up the potty. I can't say I blame her. :)
That was a really long paragraph about poop. I so apologize! But WOW, right??
Travis has started the remodeling - the backsplash is gone and he's repairing the drywall behind it, and the new sink was delivered today. We've got Emily's new room primed and ready for a coat of pretty yellow paint. Saturday morning, he takes out the existing kitchen floor while Emily and I go to the zoo with some other young moms from Deere. It still baffles me that by the time Emily turns 2, we'll have new kitchen cabinets, countertops, and floor including hard flooring in the dining room; carpet in the room downstairs that we've taken to calling the den; Emily will have a new room with a big-girl bed; and maybe she'll be potty trained! Crazy!
