My daughter’s first poo in her potty

I’m keeping this for posterity because it is my two year old daughter’s first poo in her potty.  June 24, 2008. She achieved a milestone in her life when I least expected it.  The doctor told me that I will have a hard time toilet-training her because of her chronic constipation so I was mentally prepared that she might learn at around age 3 or 4.  On this particular day she didn’t just poo, but also went pee pee three times in her potty.
