Madeleine has had a dry diaper all morning, going pee on the potty three times and poop once. Hooray! As I wiped her after one of her successful attempts, I congratulated her:
ME: GREAT JOB, Madeleine!! You're such a big girl, doing potty training!
MADELEINE: I want go potty train?
She must be imagining riding the potty train is as exciting as riding the sixxy-nine bus.
Julia is showing her newfound skills in different ways. Her class at school is learning about China (hence the great trophy of China in the bathtub), and she has been practicing writing her numbers in Chinese. She has even learned how to say a few things in Chinese, and had a special visitor to her classroom. She filled me in on everything yesterday:
JULIA: Mom, did you know that at school we're learning about China, and a girl's mommy came in, and we were all saying "Ni hao! Ni hao!"
ME: Was it Leah's mommy?
JULIA: Yes!
ME: Did you know that Leah's mommy grew up in China?
JULIA: She did?
ME: Yeah! And did you know that Leah's mommy and Karolina's mommy and I all went to grad school together, to study music?
JULIA: (thoughtful) And Mama? Was it in China?
Boston, honey. Close.
