Congratulations, Earthmamma! Brave, brave, brave of you!
To add to the potty humor, I'll mention that when we were working on potty training with our daughter, I was just really eager for her to get trained, and probably started too early with it. I was all "Holy crap. This is taking forever," just not accepting that not all kids are ready to be completely trained at 18 months. (As if!) Horrible mom, I know...
Anyway, we were encouraging her, and she finally sat down and tried to poo. (She'd already been peeing in the potty by this point.) It was right around my birthday, and I was all "Ooooh...the best birthday gift ever" in my head.
Poor kid...she apparently just wasn't ready. She managed to poo and it scared her so much she didn't try again for almost a year!
Guess it scared the crap out of her.
Mother of the year over here.
