So... how was your day?

Yesterday Kylie was already sleeping when I got home from preschool. I worked on some scrapbooking pages that I've been meaning to get to for months now and got a load of laundry done while she napped. She was ready for a snack when she woke up, so I grabbed her a yogurt and a few cucumber slices and sat down at the table with her.

She happily chatted about the rhino that she and her daddy saw at the mall a few weeks ago (in a toy store I think ~" it was BIG! and it had a "horn on nose!") and the school buses that kept rolling through our neighborhood (much to her delight). After about five minutes of chatterbox mode, the conversation got quiet for a few seconds. Kylie looked at me quizzically and said, "Sooooo..."

Silence. I then decided the ball must be in my court and replied, "So, how was your day?"

Kylie smiled, gave a high five and said, "It wa piey gu." (It was pretty good)

How grown up is she becoming?

And on that note, tonight I think we moved into a new phase of life around here. (I'll preface this by saying two things. 1 ~ For the past 2 1/2 weeks I've only had to change two poopy diapers because she has been willing to go on the potty ~ but it pretty much has been me watching for signs that she needed to go and asking her. 2 ~ One day I'm sure she'll be pretty ticked about me sharing this info, but I'm pretty proud of her and I figure at least I'm not posting pictures...) Tonight we were sitting in Subway waiting for Kylie to finish her pickle (oh, there was a bit of ham on there too) sub when suddenly she looked at me and said, "pe u e on potty." (Pe u e comes from her interpretation of me saying, "Phew-U-Eee!" when I used to change yucky diapers).

I doubted she could possibly be serious because she had gone at home earlier, but when I said, "really?" she very emphatically said, "YES!" And so we went... And she was right... And therefore we have entered the realm of using public restrooms...
