Evelyn went potty on the toilet tonight.  Much cheering took place – as you can imagine – and she was excited.  I’m not sure she realizes how wonderful it will be for us to not have to spend so much money on diapers and wipes and having to always remember to carry the diaper bag.  This is just the start and she’s by no means done being potty trained, but I’m excited to see this next stage coming.  As a parent you love the next stage because you see your child develop and grow, but at the same time there is moderate sorrow to see that the memories are what you have left because that very child is growing.  Its wonderful, though, and I’m glad that she’s not going to be thirty, living in the basement and wearing diapers 😉
