Dillen's Nutcracker performance is tonight so the house is FULL of energy and excitement. Roxy and I went out this morning to get a little gift for Dillen - a cool little wooden nutcracker standing on a base that I was able to personalize with a silver pen. Dillen is dancing around the house and can't wait to wear her "Cinderella hair" as she puts it.

CAUTION AHEAD - Graphic content:

Well, NOT to be outdone and have the spotlight all on her sister today, Roxy decided (all on her own) to use the 'Princess Potty.' We were playing hide and go seek and she was hiding in the toy room bathroom. When I found her, she giggled, said, "I go poopy on potty!" and quickly lifted the lid on the toilet. I pulled down her pull-ups and pants (thinking we were just doing this for the heck of it) and she pushed a poop out!!

Needless to say there was a lot of whooping and hollering and she belly laughed for about 3 minutes straight. Dillen was so proud, too, giving her big congratulatory hugs and saying, "Roxy! You're a big girl now!!"

So, after the performance tonight, we will have LOTS to celebrate...
