I Found Yellow, Mommy!

Ok, this may look and sound gross to a lot of you, but we are very proud and happy! Just 2 days ago, Ellie decided it was time to start using the potty! She WILLINGLY sits on it and goes! #2 is another story.. but hey, we're off to a great start. She has coined her own terms for using the potty... like, instead of saying "pee-pee" she says, "I found lellow!" And instead of "poop", she says, "I haffa sqeeze!" Creative, isn't she? I am overjoyed and so relieved! This is like a major burden lifted off of my shoulders, and not only are we proud of her, she is proud of herself! FINALLY!!!

Yay for Ellie! You have no idea how proud your Mommy is! She's been awaiting this day for some time now. Now, all you need to do is help Caislyn out!! :)

Love to you all.

It's funny when peeing becomes such a celebratory event! But it really is. This is good news!

No exlax for a child. Your best bet is to go to the doctor and get a rx for a stool softner and mild laxative. Don't even give her a "lick" of exlax. It can cause horrible cramps, and she may have some dried stool for not going in 5 days.
