Sweet Pea Did It! I Know My Mom is Proud!

We have a big announcement to make... Sweet Pea went #2 in the potty! YEA! She's been going #1 for months now, actually 6-8 times a day this week, but she finally got over the #2 hurdle. We are all very excited and proud. She isn't completely potty trained, but I think we are very close. We are going to celebrate at Chuck E Cheese tomorrow.

When she did it, my first instinct was to call my mom and tell her the good news. Yes, after five years I still think of my mom first when something special (or sad) happens to me and my family. The good news is - she already knew. I know my mom is looking down on us and is so proud of Sweet Pea and Bubba. I can't even imagine how excited she is to know that her first granddaughter is named after her. We tell Sweet Pea about "Gigi" and show her pictures. The other day I was explaining that Jesus is in heaven and I said "Gigi is in heaven with Jesus". Sweet Pea said, "I love Gigi". It doesn't get any sweeter than that.

The other good news is - I have a sister who understands and is willing to listen. She was excited about the big news tonight!
