I rewarded Isabel today with a treat of her choice. Reward, you ask? Isabel has joined the "tinkle in the potty" club. Such a wonderful feeling not to worry about changing diapers, but worrying about where to "tinkle."
Yesterday, as we were at the gas station, she let me know she had to go. I was hesitant to take her because we all know how public gas station bathrooms can be. She had a pull up on so I wasn't to worried. Isabel made it very clear she needed to go now! So, we ran in and covered the toilet with paper, as much as we could, she went. Then as I was pulling up her pants she said, "Okay mom, can I have a happy meal please." Such a sucker I am. But when they say please and go pee pee in the potty, you can't help but give what they want.
We ventured to McDonald's for a Happy Meal. She finished all four chicken nuggets and ate her apples, that never happens. Usually its all about the fries!
As I was throwing away our trash Isabel came running up to me and said she saw Santa. I looked up and sure enough a man sat at a table with white hair and a big white beard. He was plump and round with rosy cheeks. He was wearing normal clothes though. The old man over heard Isabel and called her over. I was nervous at this point. But he looked at me and waved me over too. He told her he was watching her and making sure she was being a good girl. He handed me a business card that simply said, Santa Clause with a phone number. Really!!
He told Isabel to keep being a good girl, we said good-bye and left. I picked up Isabel to cross the street to our car, when she looked at me with a serious face and said, "Mom, Santa eats chicken nuggets too?"
This girl is 2 and a half and can put together the funniest things. I love it! Not a dull moment with Isabel Joy!
