We Have Pee in the Potty

As reported by Chris, Sylvia Maridale Wallace urinated into the child-size toilet on Thursday, July 17th at 7:00 pm. Much to my dismay, I was teaching a yoga class, and came home to hear about this momentous occasion. I promptly asked for all the details, minute by minute from the time I left the house. At 6:25 pm, Sylvia and I said good-bye. At 6:30 pm, Chris and Sylvia danced to a few rounds of the Hokey Pokey ("mo pokey, mo pokey"). At 6:45 pm, Sylvia needed a diaper change by saying, "pee pee." Chris removed her diaper. He asked Sylvia if she wanted to sit on the potty and she agreed. During her time on the potty, she voluntarily urinated onto her toilet. We are so proud of her. I can't wait to see this miracle myself. And like any new event in Sylvia's life, I feel both pleasure, joy, and a twinge of sadness to realize that our baby is really, almost truly a little girl.
