Mama I'm a Big Girl Now

Yesterday was a Caroline day with a lot of Ariel's needs mixed in. We had a number of errands for both girls and spent most of the day doing so. Ariel did pretty well at her scholarship bowling league. She and I packed her for her trip to her mothers. (She pulled the clothes and items she thought she needed to take and I put them all in the suitcase for her so everything would fit. Caroline helped put stuff in the suitcase.) I think she is racking up more miles in the air this summer than a majority of kids her age. Once she gets back from this trip, she takes a deep breath, goes to her high school orientation and is back out on a plane to Atlanta for DragonCon.

I am posting the potty training saga behind the cut to not upset people's delicate sensibilities.

I am grateful that she made this small step into a much larger world.
