Big girl clothes

This week I had to order Miss C new clothes for school. Her uniforms were starting to get too snug and too short. I love her at this age, but it does make me sad that she is growing up. I look at her now and see less of my baby and more of a little girl. Her clothes are just one of the most obvious signs that she is growing up.

I think she feels she is growing up too and goes back and forth with her big girl, baby girl feelings. One minute she wants no help and the next she wants to crawl in my lap and be held. I will hold her until she's 80 if I can.

It's Potty Time!

I honestly cannot believe that Miss R is potty training. And by potty training I mean really just teaching herself with minimal assistance from us. We "officially" starting this week with big girl panties and she's had very few accidents. We've even driven without a pull up and had no accidents.

She is raring to go and doesn't want the pull on at all. Stubborn child that she is. So we have to trick her into wearing them at nap and overnight. It's working so we'll keep doing it.

Her face is so freaking cute when she goes. Her eyes light up with excitement and pride and she gets this huge grin on her face. Everything about her body language says, "LOOK AT ME! I AM AWESOME!"

And really, she is.
