Well I suppose Bree could not be outdone by her brother for too long. So this week on Monday she also decided to use the potty. She followed me into the bathroom and seemed to want to sit on the potty. Sure enough, she agreed to do so and was able to get a little something out. Truth be told, much of it started out on the floor. And then all of it ended up on the floor when Bree stood up, grabbed the pan and turned it upside down. That's a kink in the training plan that we'll have to work out! But nonetheless I was proud of her efforts.
Then on Tuesday, another amazing thing happened. It's usually quite apparent when Drew needs to "do some business" because he typically fights it every step of the way, ever since a bout with constipation. He tenses and strains to keep it from happening, which is not at all pleasant. I was worried this would present a big problem in the potty training department. But quite the opposite seems to be happening. I caught him tensing up on Tuesday and suggested he try to use the potty. He agreed to sit down, and I think the sitting position actually helped him relieve himself of the dreaded number two!
There was no tensing for a few days after, because he got a little help with the constipation in the form of Milk of Magnesia. But sure enough, we had a repeat episode on the potty on Saturday, with excellent results!
Way to go, Drew and Bree! They are off to a great start.
