Poopy on the potty!!!!

**Disclaimer to non-parents: for some reason this seems like a huge milestone to me**

**Disclaimer Part 2: I'm going to discuss the milestone in some detail, so feel free to skip**

Yes, she did it this evening and mommy is so proud!!! I can't believe how independent my little girl is getting and seemingly so smart. (I'm the parent, I can sound silly and brag!) Anyway, she made mention of going poopy when she got home from daycare so I put her on the potty. No such luck. A few minutes later, she went towards the bathroom door, looked at me and said, "be right back". Of course I ran into the bathroom to help her take her diaper off, then gave her some privacy and shut the door. Just a minute later daddy went in to check on her and she pooped!!!

I immediately ran to my secret stash of stickers I'd been waiting to give her. She loved putting them on everything but the sticker book it came with.

She had a decent dinner of chicken noodle soup and strawberries. We also got a chance to go for a long walk when we got home as the weather was fairly decent... chilly but sunny out.

Right before bath time, I rewarded Ava again for a job well done on the potty with an ice cream bar. She devoured it... right there in the bathroom. Hey, easy clean up in the tub!
