...and she poops!!!

In the potty that is!!! I had already been inspired to post today, but after my most recent exciting news, it makes the process alot easier for me...I have a topic that I want to shout from the mountain tops!!
Addie Grace has been potty training for awhile, she had the pee-peeing down pat, but REFUSED to poop in the potty. When I would put her big girl panties on (or a pull up for that matter), she would just stop pooping for a few days and it made for a very unpleasant experience for everyone involved...mainly her, so I would feel bad for her, pull out a diaper and resign myself to the fact that I would be the only mother to be changing their thirteen year olds dirty diapers.
Well, this morning I caught her hiding (her pooping ritual) before she had actually started and I begged and pleaded and bribed (just like I've been doing for the last 6 months) for her to go and sit on the potty and guess what?!? SHE DID! AND SHE POOPED! I truly feel like I've just won the lottery. She did do it a couple of times before but it was when I had caught her after the process had begun and just threw her on the potty...training that way never worked for me. I so want her potty trained all the way before Sawyer gets here in June and before her third birthday (April 5), and I feel a small sense of hope today!! I'm going to head out on my errands skipping and whistling today!! Keep your fingers crossed for me that it lasts please!!
