the little things...

To  most people, this picture might mean a potty victory after months of wet panties, but to me it is a sign to appreciate the little things.  For about two months I have been asking Addie to keep her shorts and panties on when using the bathroom.  This might seem like a simple task to complete for most children but for my sweet, I-like-to-do-it-my-way little girl it is not.  Addie likes to kick off her shorts and panties into the air... she calls it her little trick.  Most days I do not mind but then Addie needs "help" getting the shorts and panties back on.  This is where the problem comes in because there is another child in this house who needs my attention also.  If I am not able to help, Addie falls to the ground and the end of the world is here.  But on this day, I was sitting at the table and I heard a little voice call out, "Look momma... I keep my panties and shorts on just like you!"  Like I said before... it is the little things that make you most happy sometimes.
