Monkey Lyly had been working hard on one big goal: no more diapers! Her caretakers at the animal rescue center had been gently encouraging her to use the potty like a big girl. At first, Lyly wasn’t so sure about the strange white toilet—why sit there when diapers were so easy?
But with lots of patience, training, and banana treats, Lyly finally started to understand. The toilet meant growing up—and growing up meant independence!
One sunny afternoon, Lyly surprised everyone. She climbed up on the little training toilet all by herself and sat down quietly. Her caregivers peeked into the room, watching from a distance with hopeful smiles. After a few minutes, they heard a little “plop”—Lyly had done it! Her very first successful poop on the toilet!
The team clapped softly and whispered excited cheers. But Lyly didn’t move. She just sat there, her tiny hands gripping the edge of the seat, her eyes blinking slowly. All that effort, all that focus… and now, she was exhausted.
Moments later, the funniest thing happened: Lyly leaned forward, let out a deep sigh, and fell asleep right there on the toilet! Head drooped, arms dangling, and tail hanging down—Monkey Lyly was completely out cold.
Her caretakers couldn’t help but laugh. They gently scooped her up, cleaned her up, and tucked her into a cozy blanket for a well-earned nap. That little monkey had worked so hard, and they couldn’t have been prouder.
Lyly’s toilet training adventure became the talk of the sanctuary. Her photo, snoozing on the potty with a soft smile on her face, now hangs on the staff bulletin board under the title: “No More Diaper Words!”
It was a funny moment, but also a big milestone for Lyly. One small step for a monkey—one giant leap for potty-kind!
