Finley's First Poop in the Toilet! (Warning: Graphic Descriptions!)

Last night, I think Finley was trying to show off for Uncle Luke because she decided she needed to sit on the potty and try to go. She sat in the bathroom for at least 15 minutes. She called in Auntie Annie, she called me in, and, of course, she called Uncle Luke in to watch her sit on the potty (she's kind of in an anti-dad phase now, so Cam was not invited). I went in again after awhile, thinking she was just trying to keep from going to bed, but I smelled a little toot action going on so I rubbed her back a little bit. I got tired of sitting, so I left. Remembering what happened the last time - long ago - Finley pretended to go on the potty, I had a feeling I'd hear panic if she really did start to go. I heard the panic and ran to see Finley trying to get up with poop falling from her butt! I tried to calm her down and sit her back down. She kept crying for her diaper but everyone came in and we all cheered and clapped for her. She couldn't let everyone down so she kind of nervously went along with it. We let her flush her turds down the toilet and then she got a sparkly sticker to put on her potty to remember her big event. We went to bed shortly after and she starting remembering her day. She told me about the train that went 'round and 'round (at the restaurant we ate pizza at earlier) and how she pooped in the potty like a big girl.

Today, when we got home from daycare, I asked her if she was going to try to go again tonight and she quickly said, "No! I scared when I go potty." I told her that, yes, she was scared but now she knows what it's like and she doesn't have to be anymore. She tried again later, but to no avail. Probably because she was really just trying to keep from going to bed. If that's what it takes, so be it!
