you have no problem asking the color, shape, and consistency of poop.  Of course it takes a somewhat obsessive parent to actually be in the bathroom when it all happens.  And one with a strong stomach, I might add.
I'm so proud of Sam.  A few weeks ago, I had to go to CVS and get suppositories.  He'd been withholding again and I got so upset and fed up with withholding and changing poopy pull-ups, I thought I had to do something "drastic." 
That's when the sticker chart came to use.  I love that he gets so excited about pooping.  Nowadays he tells me how many he wants to go.....did you know there's a number called "thirty-teen"?  No?  Me either.  I just tell him, "let's start with one."
Sure enough, he's staring me down and we hear the fateful "plop" in the toilet.  And he squeals with delight "yay I pooped, no medicine."
As of tonight, his sticker chart is completely full.  Three weeks of daily pooping.   THREE WEEKS!
