Little Girl

Since I shared some less than pleasant stuff about Little Girl yesterday, I feel the need to follow it up with something good today. We really do love this kid. She's a delight when she wants to be.

This morning Hubby got up and did breakfast for the kids a little later than usual, and I stayed in bed. Big Girl had her turn at whatever stomach bug is going around, and threw up 3 times last night, I was up with her for a couple hours. Since she wasn't going to school this morning, we turned off the alarm clocks, and just let it be a casual morning. I needed the extra rest (and could still use more), so that's why I was still in bed.

Right before he had to leave, Hubby noticed Little Girl doing the potty dance. She had been dry all night, so it was no wonder. You know the potty dance... knees together, shifting nervously, possibly a crotch hold as well... He wisely put her on the potty. He alerted me to her status, and I got up and came downstairs so I could keep track of Little Girl's progress.

About a minute after I was downstairs, and within listening distance, she went. Yay! I went in there and gave her a big smile, which she returned, ear to ear. When she got up from finishing her business, she went out of the bathroom and took a bow. No lie. It was the funniest thing ever! She didn't even have any pants on yet!

She's definitely catching on to the potty thing. There's no doubt, and no turning back. I'm still a little surprised that she's actually getting it.

The song in my head as I lay in bed last night, going to sleep for the first time, was the epic background music in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. If you've seen it, then you know what I mean. If you haven't, click here.
