P.I.P.

two days ago, my little toddler girl made her very first P.I.P. -- Poo In Potty. I didn't want to mention it right away. didnt want to jinx it. but today, she had her 2nd P.I.P. so I'm hoping that this is not just one, poop fluke.

and I have to say this: the first P.I.P was ginormous! it was an adult-sized poo that came out of my petite daughter's bum-bum. no joke.

so large, in fact, that it clogged the toilet! after dumping the poo from the little potty to the toilet and flushing, the toddler said: "did I make a clogger mama?" she was strangely delighted by the bloop-bloop-bloop sound of a clogged toilet trying to flush.

clogger aside, we were so overjoyed by her first P.I.P. my baby-daddy and I jumped up and down, hootering and yelping out of joy...you'd think we won the lottery!

adventures in potty training

BIG milestone today. my lil toddler went to daycare wearing "big girl chonies" for the first time today. And...[wait for it....] NO POTTY ACCIDENTS! That's my girl!

all day long, while toiling away at work in corporate america, I was distracted, wondering: "did my lil one wet herself? is she gonna be upset? are the 3 extra outfits and 2 pairs of chonies that I put in her cubbie gonna be enough to get her through the day at day care today?"

I felt so anxious as I left the office at the end of the day and drove to pick her up. I'd know right away whether or not she made it through the day "dry", based on her outfit when I pick her up.

as I approached the playground, my eyes scanned the scattered crowd of toddlers as quickly as I could, trying to spot my girl. and then there she was -- in the same deliciously cute outfit she was wearing when I dressed her in the morning. SUCCESS! and the added bonus - her little piggy-tails were a bit tweaked out... a sign of a good, fun day at "school" for her.

we celebrated by going to In-N-Out for a "hamberg" (that's little shorty's way of saying "hamburger") and french fries.
