One for the Baby Book!

Emma has always done everthing exceptionally early...rolled over: 3 months, sat up: 5 months, crawing everywhere: 5 1/2 months, walking everywhere: 7 1/2 months...the list goes on and on!  Her only hang-up thus far has been POOP!! Two weeks after Emma's second birthday, we took off the Pull-Ups and went strictly with big girl panties!  And again, Emma accepted the challenge with ease!  She maybe had 3-4 pee-pee accidents the first week, but since then...NONE...not even at night!!  She has never wet the bed!!  However, she REFUSED to put her "poo-poo rocks" (as she calls them) in the potty!  Instead, she would tell me she needed to poop, bring me a Pull-Up, I'd put it on her, and then she would go hide to do her little "poo-poo dance" for about 30-40 minutes, then come and tell me she was done and I'd put her panties back on.  I figured this would just be a little phase for a couple of months and then she would eventually poop in the potty...  Well, it's been a year and a half!!!  Don't think "phases" are supposed to last that long!! After talking to several moms, however, this does seem to be more common than I thought...especially among girls.  And, in Emma's defense, she has always had a really hard time "going #2".  We have tried our share of Glycerin Suppositories, Pedia-Lax enemas, and stool softeners.  I still have to give her Miralax everyday just to get her to go every 3 or 4 days.  Well, about 2 months ago, I decided this had been going on long enough.  We were down to our last pack of Pull-Ups and I told Emma that I would not buy anymore and that she would have to put her poo-poo in the potty.  She has been "rashioning" that last pack so, we just ran out this past week!  I felt kind of bad, b/c I could tell it really stressed her out to even think about pooping in the potty, but I stuck to my guns and did not buy Pull-Ups!!  And HALLELUJAH!!!  EMMA POOPED IN THE POTTY ON JULY 20, 2011!!!  She was so proud of herself and believe me... Me and LoLo made a HUGE deal about this!!!  We have gone on and on about what a big girl she is!!  I have never been so excited about poop in my entire life!!
