She Did It!!

Last night I was in the kitchen and I heard Savannah making her usual nighttime poopy in her diaper (she was actually wearing a swim diaper because she was screaming to go swimming at the beach so we let her wear her bathing suit all afternoon). I quickly yelled in and asked her if she was going poopy and for the first time ever, she actually said yes. She normally says no and then hides in this one particular corner in the office to finish the job. That was probably way too much info . . . Anyway, I then asked her if she wanted to go on mommy's potty and she said yes. We rushed to the potty and she POOPED ON THE POTTY!!! She was so proud as she even got to use "paper towel", as she calls toilet paper, and then got to flush the potty. Afterwards, we practically threw a party for her. She got her reward of chocolate chips and loved them.

Now I know we're a long way from being potty trained, but this was a huge step in the Bachmann house!

Woo Hoo Savannah- She's getting it! We're still working on the wet part, but it's sooo much better once those poopy diapers are a thing of the past. Mama deserves a treat, too :) !
