Little Surprises

As a parent I have learned that the best moments are the little gifts that aren't wrapped up in a box with a bow. The wonderful surprises come at the strangest moments. Tonight's moment was at dinner.

Inwe had asked to go to the restroom at the restaurant where we ate dinner. When I came back with her Larien said, "I want to go potty, too. Me, too. Me, too."

I took her by the hand and headed to the restroom where I thought I would go through the motions. I got her on the potty and voila! She went pee pee. Phill had told her to hold it until I came back, and she did.

Guess where we went? To the Toys R'Us just across the parking lot. We got a Thomas the Tank Engine movie. It's not that great, but she's happy.
