Is that a Snickers Bar?

We just recently started to "attempt" potty training. The average age to start is about 20 months, so I decided that this whole month I would dedicate myself to the art of toilet training. It was nice weather the other day..about mid 70's and so Reese and I took her potty chair in the back yard, I stripped her from her diaper, and let her run free! She seemed to really love the wind beneath her cheeks as she played with her toys (it was quite hilarious to look at). I took advantage of the moment to read up on the latest US Weekly gossip.. you know..researching what the celeb babies are wearing these days.. what? Its for my job.. Anyways, I heard a faint grunting in the background just as I discovered that Sweet Shoes Silver Janes (which I carry in my store) was on page 11 on hot trends for tots!! I knew I had good taste. I jumped up and ran over to Reese and picked her up to go put her on her potty, but it was too late. A big #2 was laying on the grass. Ew. Well I put her on the potty anyways and went through the whole deal about we don't poo poo in the grass we poopoo in the potty...blah blah blah.. and I was describing how to push (like she knows what I'm talking about) and she just laughed and was copying my push noise. She eventually got up and ran away and I noticed that she totally peed in the potty!! I know it was on accident..probably from all the laughing and pushing, but we still had a party and ate M&Ms. Day 1-success. Well, kind of. The gross part was trying to figure out what to do with the man turd laying by all her toys. Sean suggested throwing over the fence into the neighbors backyard (WHICH I didn't). I freaked out and he said, "What? They have a Great Dane..nobody will notice!) I ended up flushing it down the toilet where poop belongs. Hey- It was a good lesson for Reese. Now she knows that if she poops in the grass she has to carry it all the way to the toilet. :)
