Potty Humor

Wrote this up on 11/22/2010, but forgot to ever post it....

For a long time we have made halfhearted attempts at potty training Isabella. She started doing alright with peeing a couple months back, but refused to have a BM on the toilet. When she moved to the three year old room in October she really became much more interested in going on the toilet as many of the children in that room were potty trained. She began having all of her BM's in the toilet. Over a weekend we were able to wear underwear all day except during nap and overnights and had no accidents. Bella really wanted to wear underwear that Monday to school so we decided to let her and has done great. She rarely has had any accidents and now only wears a pull-up overnight and it is dry or only a little wet.

You can't go through potty training with a bunch of humor. Of course the fact that I'd just blogged about Bella's BMs is funny enough. Other funny stuff:

Bella refuses to throw the toilet paper in the toilet after she has a BM. She says "I can't see the poopy, no cover it up!" if you try to put toilet paper over it. She likes to watch it while she flushes.

One day Bella went up behind Robin and pulled Robin's pants back. She said "Any poopy in there, Mama?" Robin explained to her that you don't just walk up to someone and look down their pants (even though we were doing it to her all the time). Bella replied "I was just checkin'"

Robin went in one morning to wake up Bella. Robin was dressed and ready for work, the first thing Bella said to her was "Mama, you wearing underwear?" Robin said "Yes, I am wearing underwear". Bella said "Let me see it!"
