big girl

Exhibit A:  Jane Louise has her first real pee pee on the potty.

Exhibit B:  Start dancing around the room like a LUNATIC, singing the prerequisite conga-song in celebration.

Exhibit C:  Jane tries to reach into the potty, causing you to shout "DON’T TOUCH IT!" on camera, startling the girl.

Exhibit D: Resume making fool out of self. (see Exhibit B)

Exhibit E: Realize that this marks the end of the diaper-wearing days for her, that before you know it she’ll be totally diaper-free, in school, graduating, married, and having babies of her own.  Immediately panic.  Then remind yourself that we’re still talking about peeing on a Dora potty, there are many years left to prepare yourself for her wedding, and find yourself calm down again.

Exhibit F: Spend the next two days congratulating her on being such a big girl, and telling her that you are so very proud of her.  Then post video on the blog for good measure.
