We have a winner!

The first thing I want to say is that there will be no picture with this post. By the end of you reading this you will be so glad that I did not put a picture... trust me. Also, Hillary wasn't about to let me take a picture of this monumental event.
Most of you who will be reading this probably know me pretty well and know that eventually a story about poop will come out of my mouth at some point, so here it is.
While I was partaking in my morning rituals (throne time) my sweet little girl Evelyn walks right up to me and asks me, "what are you doing daddy?" Trying always to be honest with my children, I told her that "daddy is pooping baby, could you give me some privacy?" She said no. After that she said, "daddy I go potty too", (and for those of you who have had to potty train children know that when you first start potty training, your child will just sit on their potty and do nothing and ten minutes later poop in there new diaper... it always happens here) so to continue the dialogue, I told her that she did not need to go potty, that she just needed to go play. That didn't work. She kept on saying, "I go potty too." Needless to say I gave in, stripped her down and sat her on her potty and let her sit there.
Now before I continue with the events of this morning, I feel I need to tell you about our kids little toilet. It might be the coolest thing ever! When a little poop or pee hits the bottom of the bowl it will play music. The kind of music that when you hear it you think of victory. Quite a gratifying thing to have something cheer for you after your business is done! (I must admit that I hit the music button on the bottom of the toy toilet once for myself before... hehe!)
Saying all of that, Evelyn is sitting there just holding her doll and out of nowhere I heard the triumphant music of the toilet and looked at Evelyn and saw the great joy on her face as she finally went potty in her potty! She was so proud of herself and we clapped and cheered as she is finally growing up and using the "big girl potty".
So as we all are celebrating Christmas Eve and the joy of the birth of Christ, we are celebrating Evelyn's first poop in a potty. She's a winner.

It kind of reminds me of when the lights and sirens go off on an arcade or fair game! Way to go Evelyn! And, I think a picture was needed! We have photos of our boys on the potty. One series shows the before, during, and after photos! :) Just a note to clarify, I mean the photo should be of Evelyn using the potty.
