Okay me explain...I started to seriously potty train Sofia today (after reading MckMama's post and tips on the issue- www.mycharmingkids.net). Her advice is to let the kids play without a diaper and to give them lots to drink. When they start to show signs that they have to go...bring them to the potty. So that was my mission.

However, I have also been wanting to update myblog with pics and videos more frequently, so I thought that today would be a good day to video Sofia doing her instrument puzzle. So I broke out the camera and she did the puzzle. Halfway through it she gets excited about the piano piece because we recently set up "a piano"(a huge keyboard that I've had at school for 5 years) in the living room. So when she gets back from the piano we finish that puzzle. She gets excited about the xylophone because she has one and goes get it out of her instrument box. Great! End of video. So after I stop recording, I watched the video while Sofia played with her instruments. It came out great, I was excited!!!

Then, when I looked up, I saw something rolling around near her feet. I realizedthat she had POOPED on the floor!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! How could I not notice this???// I ran her up to the bathroom, cleaned her up and then cleaned up the mess on the floor!! All was fine- and we continued to play. I called my husband and mom and told them both what happened, and they laughed. I didn't think much else of it. And then it dawned on me, that maybe the poop happened during the video!!!!!! Oh my gosh!! I looked back at the recording and sure enough, there it is sitting on the ground, right before she goes for her xylophone. How could I have missed this in real life, and then when I played the video back???????? WOW!!!



Anyway, the good news is that she later peed on the potty and was very proud of herself. I promise that I will never use this video to embarass my child when she is older, but for now, I think it is fair game!!
