Milestones

When I hear a little voice say pee or poop, I jump up, respond with a quick let's go! and run to the nearest bathroom or otherwise appropriate location.

Yes, my 2-year-old-in-7-days is potty training.

Tonight was no different. I got up twice for pee, once for a poop false alarm. Then I heard poop again, but rising to the occasion I saw a child already without underwear, a scary picture.

Though we ran to the bathroom, rather than needing to poop, PB was showing off the one she had already done. By herself. In the big potty.

**heart fills with joy**

PB's first solo poop. I feel like celebrating. Nice work, PB!

Happy 100!

This is my 100th post! Woo-hoo! I made it!

I'm very impressed with myself for sticking with this thing for so long. Through grad school, my first year teaching, and moving to China, I wouldn't've thought this would still exist.

However, I've been thinking about purging lately. Does deleting long ago posts violate blogging ethics? I've matured since beginning this over a year-and-a-half ago. Reading my history can be embarrassing.

Well, if I'm going to bare my brain to the world it's got to be all of it. Including posts like this one that just feel like filler because I have a goal to reach.

But if you're interested, here's my list of highlights from the past 99 posts, in reverse chronological order:
