Madeleine - Goes to the potty on her own!

Maddie has been doing so well at going to the bathroom on her own!!

We've tried really hard to get her to independently go to the bathroom, especially after/during naptime or in the morning when she wakes up. She has been pooping in her diaper during naptime or right when she wakes up in the morning, so Joseph told her that if she has to poop, it is okay for her to get out of bed and walk to the bathroom (right around the corner from her bedroom) and walk up the little stool to go potty.

Starting Sunday 11/5/17, she got up from her nap to poop.
And on the following Monday 11/6/17 she had gotten up at some point in the middle of the night or early morning (we have no idea when as neither of us heard her open her door) and had a huge poop in the potty!! She pulled her diaper and pants back up and went back to bed!!

Since then she has been going to the bathroom upstairs all by herself if needed - both pee AND poop. She does have a bit of trouble getting her diaper back on in the morning since it's gotten heavy overnight, but it's been so great having her do this all on her own, and no more wiping poop off her butt!
