Big Girl Undies

The day after Christmas, Miss Mia celebrated her 1/2 birthday.  She is now 2 1/2 years old.

In celebration, she decided she no longer wanted to wear Pull Ups - this is after her refusal to wear diapers for the last two or so weeks.  On Christmas Day, even with all of the excitement and visiting Great Grandma S~ and Grandma S~, Miss Mia wore her Big Girl Undies and never had an accident!  This trend continued yesterday, to include when taking a nap!

Today, Miss Mia visited Grandma T~.  Then, home where she poopied and pee'd on the potty before going down for a nap.  Then, we went to THE MALL (it's the way she says it!) with Miss Picky, Miz Aise, my Mom and me.  No accidents!

So, while we were at WalMart, I picked her up a gift for her transition into Big Girl Undies.  She's really into Barbie right now, because of Toy Story.  I found two cute Barbies on clearance (yes, I took full advantage of the post-Christmas sales).  She'll be getting one as a gift here shortly for doing so well in the transition!

I'm a very excited Mommy as I know how hard potty training can be.  I also love having just one little one in diapers.

BUT
I'm also sad.
Seriously.

This is another step toward her no longer needing me!  My girl is no longer a baby!

I'll embrace this milestone in Miss Mia's development.  I'll celebrate my little girl growing up.  I'll clap and cheer, but please let me get a little teary-eyed as well when I sit for a minute and remember just how quickly she is growing before my eyes.  Who knew that potty training would first get me to cheer for body functions (AND post them on Facebook) and then make me misty-eyed were left behind!
