holy crap!

literally. WOO HOO!! May-May pooped on the potty today!!! she started holding it in (as usual these past 2 weeks) and i told her i wouldn't hold her unless she tried potty and that i would go with her and hold her hand. she left the room upset and screaming in pain only to return a second later to say "i want go potty now" so we went and she went. it's clearly painful for her but she is making it much worse then it needs to be.

laughing, smiling, dancing, singing, lollipops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am by no means convinced this is the end of our poop problems. however, this is a breakthrough and i am smiling ear to ear .... it's amazing sad how much of my happiness hinges on poop these days.
