Welp, gotta get tubes in the ears. Have to wait til January, unfortunately, but looking forward to less frequent and severe ear infections...eventually.

And on another note, potty training is going great! A few accidents, as expected, but mostly getting to the toilet on time. We're in commando phase and have been out of the house quite a few times. On our way out of the doctor's office this morning she said she had to use the potty first... Success!!

That's some game changing potty behavior! Congrats! We are still waiting for a good weekend to start back up. She has started asking for it occasionally, and I hope she doesn't get massively sick again during it.

She held in a poop for 4 days until after her nap yesterday. Having her stuffies pretend to poop and offering books to read was the kicker. Today before lunch she went to her basket of stuffies and said "I need my guys, I have to poopoo" then went straight to the bathroom and asked for some books. And yes, took a huge dump and a pee lol.


So yeah, very happy with her progress. Glad I didn't put it off longer, cause the toddler resistance has been our only obstacle. It really is pretty easy though if your kid is already comfortable/familiar with toileting. The book says not to start off casually like this, but I disagree, at least in our case.


We started on Saturday, btw. This is my week off so I'm keeping her home to get lots of practice in.

Congrats! We finally got our daughter (3) to poo a couple of times i the toilet. The girl will still hold it for a few days though I feel so bad when she does because I cant barely go 7 hours before shoot'n mud out ma butt.

Was in NJ/NY for work for the first time. First time away from my daughter. Well... i was on trip last year or so but she was too young to tell that I was gone. Really missed her but thank goodness for facetime. I loved seeing her pretty face light up when she saw me. She took the phone away from mom and ran off to talk to me. Didn't really because she blabs a lot but it felt good.

Jeez, only been 3 weeks but already feels like a lifetime ago she was in diapers full time. Hasn't had any accidents at school since the first week she went back 2.5 weeks ago. Pooped her pants a couple times at home, but nothing since. If she goes another week with no poop accidents then she'll start to wear underwear.


edit: I bought a foldable potty seat to take with us on outings, ie. restaurants, library, swimming, etc., and it has really been helpful. She actually loves using the restroom when we're out and about. Lol, kids.

Adorable!

I would refrain from posting pictures of kids in this forum as one member has an unholy lust for those yet to come of age

I was actually thinking the same thing.

thanks for the heads up. what a sick f*ck!

However, I didn't intend to post any naked bathtub pics here and the picture above is TA-releated and harmless enough, I'd say...

That is awesome! Can't wait to get there. Our girl has been pretty good the last week. She gets distracted at school and has a few accidents. But has been free of them for a few days there. The poop holding is real though! We've had one successful potty poo.

And we love that foldable potty seat. We've had her up in the back of the car using it Not posting those pics!
