Pah-ee or #2 for you...

Warning: this post contains a few pix of gross. We are beginning to potty train...
the above pic is of L. trying on a diaper with Z. Same size. 4-ish. :)


Since many of you know about the nightmare of potty training L. to poo in the toilet, you'll understand why as soon as Z. expressed interest, we took it as a "go" for allowing her to try the potty. L. would do #1 on the potty as young as 11 months, but the poo was such an issue. It took him until about 3 years to get it. (And to NOT hold it in...poor guy.)
Z. watches him go (he has a "poo time" every night around 7:30-8ish, where he sits from a few to many minutes [it began as 10 min.] ). He sings, dances around (his upper body :), tells stories....she hands him toys & plays with him (never mind the smell...that is love). They have a grand time. :) So, she started bringing me her potty or going to the bathroom & putting the little lid on while saying, "Pah-ee!" After a few times of going in the floor or actually making it to the toilet, we tried some naked days. She held it in 'til I put a diaper on her for sleep. Then as soon as she "made" in the diaper, she brought me a fresh diaper & said, "pee pee." Um, thanks, kid. Little too late.
So, amidst all this "trial & error" there have been about 3-4 poos in the tub. She doesn't seem to care a bit if she goes in the tub (L. was always horrified), but one night they were bathing together & she dropped a log. Ha! The boy was screaming bloody murder! I scooped him out & handed him to B, who took him to the other bathroom to wash, then I let big girl finish on the potty, which she loved. (Then, I proceeded to wash kids, bleach tub, toss toys, etc...the half hour I didn't plan on...at which pt. I thought about people who are "thinking about having kids"...I wanted to post this one for them :).
So here are a few pix of the beginning of our Z going potty days...enjoy. :)poor Langston. He loves to bathe with Sis...until....
