potty training and big kids and chicken suits, oh my!

mia has completed her first week in the "big kid" class and begun full time potty training. we were so worried that she would feel overwhelmed by it all and that the potty training might freak her out a bit. we should know better than to worry about her by now.

at the end of her first day she was stoked about the big kid class and all the new things she had to do and play with. she even knew a handful of kids in the class from her old class. and the best part (for us, at least)? she hasn't had one accident since the potty training began. not one. not at school, not at home, not even on the weekend. and she's only woken up wet twice in the last week. it's really pretty amazing.

one of her favorite teachers sent home a card for her that said "thank you for being socially competant". there must have been a mixup at the hospital, right? :) hee.

she's also becoming more insistent on what she wears and how her hair is done (or in most cases simply not done). last night she went to bed in pajamas and a pullup per normal and played and giggled in her bed for 10 minutes or so. when i went to check on her before heading to bed i damn near peed myself. she had stipped naked (including her pullup) and had replaced her pajamas with her favorite outfit - her chicken suit. she let me put the pullup back on but there was no way in hell she was going to let me remove the chicken suit without a fight, so i didn't. this morning she woke up so proud of herself. she was still a chicken! and a chicken with dry pants!
