Mommy Moments

WARNING: Potty time story to follow....

So as I stated in a previous post, we are probably getting to a point where I will be sharing 'Mommy Moments' often as we entered into a world with 2 two year olds! Well this particular MM comes from Black Friday. My WONDERFUL mother and I got up shortly after 2 am to leave the house by 3 am so that we could be at KOHL'S by 4 when the doors opened! Our husbands and my children were still sounds asleep when we left them but we did have plans of meeting up with them for lunch somewhere. Well, we finished at Kohl's, made our 2nd coffee (capichino for me) stop and headed to Target to stand in line and be there when the doors opened at 6 for the $88.00 dual screen DVD player for the 6 1/2 hours trips back and forth across our state. I also had to get Handsome a camera to take with him to Uganda in a couple months and a few other things. Anyway, we hit Hobby Lobby and Toys R Us and then it was time to meet with the guys and kids at TGIFridays for lunch. Before our food came Princess proudly told me, "Mommy, wet diaper." This is her way of telling me 1 of 2 things. Either it is time to sit on the potty chair RIGHT NOW or it is too late and my diaper isn't the only thing wet....well this was one of the change the entire outfit times. Her and I headed to the ladies restroom to care for the problem. It had been a long day for me already and I thought that I would use the restroom as long as we were already there. As I flush my wonderful, in training (potty chair that is) daughter in her not so soft voice says, "YEAAAAAHHHHH, Mommy go potty in the potty chair YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Tinkle Tinkle....YEAAAAAHHHHH Mommy!" Now some might be slightly embarrassed by something like this...I took it as a moment to thank God for my daughter. We then went to wash our hands a a very nice lady who was also washing her hands looks over at us. You could tell she had gotten a kick out of this and she very kindly says, "we must be potty training." I said "YES" and we both chuckled.
What a blessing it is to be able to be her Mommy!
