Happy B-day!

Happy Birthday today to my amazing, fabulous, wonderful, beautiful sister. (ok, so the B-day is officially 2/1, but I'm posting before I go to bed) Did I also mention she's older than me? Boo ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!! Well, then of course, by the time *she's* 40, her kids will be just about out of the house. Whereas mine will just be starting teendom. Er...I have a nagging suspicion hers is the better end of that deal. (oh...and I owe you a card and a present:)

Hmmm.

In other news...the three-year-old hasn't worn pull-ups in going on a month now! Not a single one. Not at naptime. Not even at night. We have purchased the Big Girl Bed and we are using it!!!! It has stayed (more or less) dry. And I realize I've just jinxed the whole f*&%ing thing. But...it's huge. We have officially moved beyond the Age of the Diaper. Oh. My. God.

My secret? When I go to bed at like 11:30 or midnight, I take my daughter and sit her on the potty (she's sleeping through this whole thing mind you). I do have this back burner fear that I'll be following this procedure until she's 12 or something. Hey...anything's better than washing those sheets eleventy times a week.

I'm so proud of her! Yay!

But, I must point out. That child has a way cooler bedroom than I ever did. It's all purple and she has a doll house in it, a My Little Pony castle, pink "X-mas" lights that look like tassled crowns, a T.V. (curtesy of Beepa and Busia...she's a princess, what can I do?) I had to go all over creation to get the right Barbie wall poster for her. Not Barbie Rapunzel, God forbid not Barbie Fairytopia or Barbie Swan Lake. For the love of all that is holy, it had to be Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus. Well, duh! Ok, of which she's never actually seen the movie. But it's Barbie AND a Pegasus. Are you kidding? Could there be anything more amazing? Hey, now that she's keeping everything dry, we're golden!

Hmmm. I think that's going to be my new slogan. Instead of 'keepin it real' I'll just be 'keepin' it dry."

"Hey, Robin, how's it going?"

"Keepin' it dry man. Keepin' it dry."
