Poops in the potty

Non-parents may turn their noses up at such an obscene title, but this is a big deal in our house. Last week Mindy texted me a photo of poop in the potty (great job, Theo!). This week she reported poops in the potty from both boys. And yet Mama and Dada had yet to experience this wonderment. The boys are peeing at least a few times a day in the potty (or outside if we are outside), but had been still pooping in diapers. Today we came upstairs after breakfast to encourage potty use and after peeing, the boys continued playing and reading without diapers. Suddenly Beck ran over to the potty, springing up after only a few seconds, announcing "Poop!" Indeed, he had made a large poop in the potty. He went on to make another poop immediately after I cleaned the first potty-full. While I was cleaning the second potty-full and after Theo had thrown the other potty down the stairs Beck accidentally pooped on the floor in the bathroom. We're just thrilled about poops on the potty, awareness of peeing and pooping sensations, a desire to be clean and dry, and notifying an adult when they need to use the potty. We are moving in the right direction, people!!
