ok, this falls in the TMI category and also the don’t-read-further-unless-you-have-a-strong-constitution. But nonetheless i have to state for the record that our little chiara pooped in the potty today all by herself.

i was on the couch reading the sunday times and luke was working at his desk when chiara came running out of the bathroom (she had just received gifts of bath toys and was trying them out in the bathroon sink), grabbed luke’s hand and said, “Apa, I made a poopy. Come see.”

so luke followed her and declared it the largest poopy ever and pronounced himself the proudest apa. it was all very funny, of course, until he made me get up from the couch and witness it myself.

I attest. It was very large. It was in the potty. We gave Chiara a hug and then I realized that i didn’t see any evidence that she wiped her bottom. So, we are on a learning curve. But the end of the diaper is near! Yay!
