Elye has been "partially" potty trained for a while now. The only obstacle standing in our way was the poop. I wrapped up a big pink present to bribe her with. Didn't work. I followed her around the house like a hawk trying to catch her in action. She's pretty sneaky. We played iPad on the potty waiting for it. It never came. Finally, Elye decided it was time. . .
We were spending our spring break in Florida and it was late afternoon-her prime time. We put in bed for some quiet time while Larry, Lesli, and I enjoyed sitting by the pool. Suddenly, Elye runs out and said, "I pooped on the potty!" I roll my eyes thinking, "yeah, right," but follow her inside for her to show me. Sure enough, there's poop in the potty, a little on the seat, and a trail in her pull up. I could not believe it! After that she has only had one or two accidents in her pants! However, every time she poops on the potty she still sneaks off and does it. Then she runs out, bare booty, and proudly announces, "I pooped on the potty!" I guess this girl likes her privacy! It just goes to show that no matter how I bribed her or what I did, I couldn't make her poop on the potty. She waited until she was ready and then took care of it herself!
