Potty Parade

Last week Bea pooped in her tiny potty 4 out of 5 days in a row. What an exciting time! After breakfast she roams the house without her diaper and we try to interest her into playing with toys while sitting on her potty. If she poops there is a big parade to the toilet with Nathan, Bea and mom all holding the prize potty together like a raised trophy after a sporting event. We take turns looking at it, then hoist it up and carry it together toward the big toilet, all three of us squeezing through the bathroom doorway and watching it flush down. Its exciting when this parade occurs but its also exciting in a different kind of way when it doesn't. Did she poop on the floor while I was in the other room? Is whatever she's standing on washable? Will she pee on me? Did she just say 'poop'? Potty parade or not, mornings are pretty exciting around here.
