This post is about the kid. You know - the one who will be FOUR in May - actually pooped in the potty tonight. For those new to this blog, let it be known this is equal unto the pearly gates opening, saving me from the very gates of hell.
We had a looooong laundry list of incentives for when the deed was finally done, including a night out to see Mr. Chuck E. Cheese. The Hurricane was thrilled to dance with the overstuffed mouse and never before has a parent cried out of sheer relief to see The Master Motivator.
I do not know if this was just a fluke and if she will return to her old habits tomorrow. But for now, BROWN cannot do anything for me except find its way to the toilet (thank you very much, ridiculous UPS campaign).
On another note, I jumped on the bandwagon and recently participated in The Great Interview Experiment. I loved the idea of interviewing and being interviewed by someone new. I have yet to hear back from my interviewee (and will post it here) but was interviewed by the lovely Fabricated Goddess, a beautiful, entertaining, crafty Canuck. And by crafty, I mean Maker of Crafts, not wily. Like other [Crazy Bloggin'] Canucks you may know.
Anyhew, come on over and checkout her interview with me. She unearthed a lot of good dirt, including the sordid details of my speedy courtship, Jamie's laundry list of health problems, my brother's memorable gift to him for our first Christmas and my life's mantra.
And it has nothing to do with poop.

You know that I love you because I was rejoicing in the "Excrement" despite my deep issues with "IT"
(Dude, I cannot even TYPE IT.)
Sigh.
Off to read the interview!!!
DUDE. I meant REJOICING WITH YOU ABOUT BEING FREE OF "EXCREMENT".
Great. Now it sounds like I revel in poo
THERE! I TYPED IT!
GAH!
Must go dowse self in Lysol in true "Lucy got kissed by Snoopy and has a freak out" fashion!!!
Strangely enough, I was wondering about your potty issues earlier this evening. Hopefully it's for good!
I am new to your blog BUT I as a mom to 4 of the tiny tyrants (and I mean that in the nicest way) I know what a BIG DEAL this is!
NEVER apologize for bribery. There is nothing like it! I haven't had to endure Chucky Cheese yet. good luck!
Thoughts of going through potty training again has become our natural birth control of choice. :)
Congratulations!
Time to start early poopy diaper intervention with Bode now.
Someone in our ward named their baby, Bodey and the spelling of it really bugs me.
Just wanted to tell you that.
I think I can hear the angels singing. I know exactly how you feel. It was a major issue with our son too. YIPPEE!!
Off to read your interview.
Great interview! I loved learning more about you Amber.
Great interview, although you lied (there was some poop in there--not that I mind, it is hilarious!).
Thanks for sharing.
POOP PARTY!!! Our whole family has to gather for the First Poop In The Potty victory dance. Now my daughter expects the same reaction everytime she poops... Sorry sweety, but after the first one they just get less and less cool.
Yeah! Yeah! Way to go Hadley!!!!
Congratulations. I'd like to get my two year old to do that. . .
Hooray! Poop in the toilet is a wonderful thing. Who knew? :)
Great news about Hadley! Congrats to you too! I hope she keeps it up.
Hurray for the poop in the potty? 10 years ago did you ever think that such a thing could bring such joy?
Yay for poop!
And, so completely weird - I just found the Fabricated Goddess while looking through a directory of BC blogs a few days ago. Cool coincidence!
Yay for poop...I too will cry ttears of joy the day my 3 yo son takes the Browns to the Super bBowl. LOL!
oh i sooo do not look forward to that!!!
What a great interview! I enjoyed reading all those interesting tidbits about you! Now I request a blog with more details explaining the double engagement...
I'm singing with you--Oh how I remember how thrilled i was with each of my children when that happened.
Off to check out the interview.
That was a great interview!
I KNOW YOUR JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yay for the hurricane!
just read your intereview. very interesting and enjoyable. i learned a few things i didn't know about you.
Hip Hip HOORAY! I know how those battles go. Such a milestone.
Going to read the interview now. This is such a good idea.
Kind of sad how excited a little poop can make you no?
Congratulations! Break out the champagne. Or the Sprite. :)
Scribbit said it all.
Poop in the potty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is absoulutely fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I never even try to potty train my boys until they are at least 3...I can't handle that kind of rejection!
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!
You know you are a mother when....
Poop in the potty is the prettiest thing you've seen all day.
Yeah for you!
First off thanks for the comment on my blog.
We too made it to the potty with the poops today as well. Hopefully this will be the first of many for us, hard working potty training moms.
Let us know how it turns out. My 3 y.o. has pooped in the toilet a handful of times and each time I hope it will be the time that sparks permanent proper pooping(how's THAT for alliteration?). Alas, I'm still tearing my hair out and he's still happy sitting in his own crap!
huzzah! i hope it's not a fluke, i know you've been trying for ages!!
"But for now, BROWN cannot do anything for me except find its way to the toilet (thank you very much, ridiculous UPS campaign)." That cracked me right the heck up.
Congrats!
