Potty Party Day for Hazel!

"mom, there's a cecuk on the wall. mom...look..." anything else to talk about instead of what is going on...
"can i have some more grapefruit?" (actually jeruk bali...a HUGE sweet grapefruit) she just gets hungry after sitting there for so long...chit chatting

this is all just too much fun!

well...it wasn't like gavin's day...i followed the book (potty training in less than a day) to a tee (and he has hardly had an accident since!)...then with paul...i didn't so much but still got the idea across but he had already learned from his brother. (he had accidents cuz gavin wouldn't stop playing to "let him go to the bathroom" so he just continued in his play and would change his pants when it was more convenient) now hazel has figured this all out on her own and didn't need to be taught...or so she thought! (her brothers have enlightened her on the bathroom world and she mourned the fact that she isn't made like them but seems to get along fine now.) she would not do the 'practicing' and only told the doll to go "pee" and that was over for teaching the doll. she wasn't going to have it. so she then got on the pot and went herself. she didn't need this instruction! so we were all happy! we went on with the day and tried to just play it her way and she had a few accidents but she doesn't like them so i don't think it will be a rough road for her. she just takes FOREVER sitting on the pot...she actually likes it. but she doesn't really like the thought of #2 because she kept saying "but it will smell stinky!" and i wondered why this mattered now? she has only been 'sitting' in her stink for the past 2 years! but she did come through a couple of times already and had to run as soon as she was done! funny girl! but i am rejoicing cuz i have no more diapers to contend with! we made it!
