Poop Update: 9/24/2010

But first, a picture. I actually came into the kitchen to find Ava laying, full body, on the counter, trying to block Sophie's view by shoving her face against the screen. I took this just as she saw me and hurried to get down...

News on the poop front is good. We ditched the pullups for everything but bedtime. Magically, Sophie has neither pooped nor peed in her pants at school since.  Seriously.  After 9 months of using her clothing as a toilet, she has gone cold turkey...at school. She's had a few accidents at home, but nothing major. It's kind of amazing.

In other news, and equally amazing, Sophie loves school. Last night was her school open house and it was totally cute...dramatically different than her last school which was a terrible mismatch for us. She's making friends, learning things and thoroughly enjoying school lunch.  She's even made her first contact with a bully who she has, in perfect Sophie fashion, neutralized with her constant chatter.

Here are some of my favorite quotes:

On lunch
"Their corndogs are better than yours. But that's because you don't make corndogs."

On academics
"My favorite is 'Math Matibuliffs'" (We spent a few days thinking that this was some made up name the teacher had created and later discovered that it's called "Math Manipulatives".)

On the bully
"She put a yellow crayon on my nose and tripped me on the carpet by holding my pants. I think she's jealous because my hair is so much longer than hers."
