The Adventures in Potty Training...

Every child is different....You hear that all the time. Well, this is no different. Adam never did anything like this. He drug his feet for sure, but when he decided he was done...he was done. Now, we have Ari thinking she wants to try, but she doesn't quite want to all the way. She has a habit of taking her diaper off anywhere she is and we run into lots of messes.

So, Sunday morning Jon and I awoke to Adam screaming, "I stepped in poop! Ari is poopy!" So Jon jumped out of bed and went to see what happened. Sure enough, Ari had taken her diaper off right next to Adam's bed and he had stepped in it getting out of bed. She was a mess! Jon was such a sport and cleaned it all up.

Now fastforward to Wednesday...Again I hear Adam say, "Ari's poopy!" Then, "Oh she's going in the potty..." All the sudden I hear the pitter-patter of Ari's feet running toward my room. When I see her, she has stripes. Suddenly I realized what she had done...painted herself in poop. So I grab her and take her to the bathroom...noticing poop on the floor all the way there. I threw her in the tub and washed her all up and while she was sitting in the tub I cleaned both toilets and the floor. What a mess!

Now I'm sure you all can't wait for potty training! ;)

** Sieben commented "Thanks, Moo. That makes me SO excited to potty train some day. Yeah, right! I did think it was funny the other day when Emily found that Ari had gone into the bathroom, taken off her diaper, and then pooped on her diaper. It was pretty funny. :) " **

** Moo commented "Yes, well it looks as though the adventures just keep going and going! It's funny until you get to clean it up. I guess I should be thankful she is trying to be a big girl....but I sure wish she would train like Adam. Diaper one day, only potty the next. (And rarely an accident...and NEVER a poopy mess to clean up just because...) His messes were due to being sick or what-not. What a good boy. And Ari...what an adventure!" **
