Family Fun

My birthday wish this year was to have a fun family outing. We started the day off right with a latte from Starbucks (for me) and delicious bagels from our local bagel shop. Next, we headed to the PDX area to take our Little Miss to The Children's Museum. She was ecstatic from the moment we entered the doors. Her parents on the other hand were slightly over-whelmed by how (crazy!) busy it was and decided that we'll aim for a weekday the next time we visit. Regardless of the zillions of little people and parents trying to keep track of them, it was worth the trip.

Our next stop consisted of lunch at The Cheesecake Factory (they serve a favorite of mine, Thai Salad Lettuce Wraps). I then took the opportunity to do a little shopping while at the mall, knowing the "can't say no because it's your birthday" advantage would quickly be gone (thus, the next time I'd be able to coerce Mr. Wagner to join in a shopping trip would be a year away). Thanks for being patient Honey!

We headed home after that and my BEST birthday present was yet to come. Our girl successfully stayed dry all day and willingly "went" in public restrooms while we were in PDX. When we got home, she "presented" me with a Big Movement in the potty! That alone made my day (when you get to be my age, you're easy to please)!


P.S. I promise, Dear Readers, to now officially "retire" from potty training posts. We'll "move" on...
