On Potty Training (minus all the gory details)

First forgive me, for writing about bodily functions. I hope you can appreciate this as much as I do. I know, there was a day, where I would wonder why anyone would talk openly about such things. 

The past three days have probably been three of the longest and most exhausting days of my life, although not without some great celebrations. I am 35 weeks pregnant and determined to at least get the basics of potty training under our belt before baby number 2 comes along and I'm not able to devote three days to being a 12 hour pee-pee/poop monitor. 

In short, day 1 was a lot of clean up. 

Day 2 was amazing! She told me when she had to go and had several successful number 1's and a POO in the potty resulting in stickers, gummi bears, and smarties!!!

Day 3 Addison truly impressed me with her uncanny ability to hold it for hours and hours. And then pretty much downhill after that. 

That's all I'm going to say. But, amidst all the crazy, I had no choice but to take some pictures, because it is pretty dang cute when those short little legs are dangling from the toilet, soo far from the ground, while little miss is reading. 

This is a play by play of Addison working on a poop. And let me tell ya, it wasn't coming easy, because she wasn't in her usual stance standing in the corner bracing herself on a wall. 

I. Just. Can't. Help. Myself. 

She sets this book on the counter and says, "another one?"
