All By Herself- Is That Really Such a Good Thing?

So here's the story.

Gabriella cracked her clavicle 

at the end of May.

By this time she was 85% potty trained.

She picked it up very quickly.

After her accident she regressed....a lot.

It seems as though she just doesn't 

have time to stop and ask to go potty

or maybe she looks at like a job/chore.

See picture below.

Whatever the case may be we don't push

it because she still has a few months

before she is three and we have had 1 or 2

other children who had some regression in the past.

It typically isn't to much of an issue.

I will randomly ask her if she wants to go potty.

Sometimes she will, others times she runs away.

If she has a number two in her diaper

I will often put it in the potty and say things like

"this is where we go poo-poo"

"big girls go poo-poo in the potty"

etc.

Just some parental encouragement if you will.

Then I let her flush the toilet and we clap.

Well, I was in the shower and I heard her 

come in the bathroom. She was chattering.

She often hears me in the shower and

will come get in with me.

So nothing new. 

But then I hear the toilet lid open.

I look out just in time to see

her put her poop from her diaper in the toilet.

WITH HER HAND!!!

And then of course she flushed the

toilet and threw her hands
in the air with a big girl,

proud of herself smile.

I have OCD and I am a germophobe.

Yes, I have 6 children and 3 dogs,

so I am aware of the fact that germs 

are all up in our house and there's no escaping that.

We most likely clean and sanitize 

more often than your typical family.

So just in case your wondering

I. NEARLY. DIED!

Happy Parenting Everyone.

That is all.
