authors and pee-pee

Last night before bed Grace squeezed her eyes shut and said, "Mom, I have to tell you something."  I braced myself for something earth-shattering.  She said, "I've decided that I don't want to be a doctor anymore.  I want to be an author and illustrator instead."  I've been trying to subtly brain-wash her on the doctor thing, but apparently to no avail.  Obviously, she's keen to my tactics since she seemed to know I might take it badly.  Personally, I think Grace will be a brilliant author and illustrator!  (But, I'll continue to push med school as a plan B!).

Zara went pee-pee in the potty for the first time this morning.  She said, "Poop."  I asked, "Do you want to sit on the potty?"  She marched right over and sat down, and after a few minutes, she did it.  She received big cheers from her mommy ... and a Tootsie Pop.  Later, she said, "Want sucker."  I told her she needed to go on the potty first.  She tried, but no luck that time!

These girls make me so incredibly proud.  Tired, but proud.  So thankful...
