They really are growing up......

Just wanted to tell you a little story about Kiara yesterday......It was just after dinner and Shawn and I were enjoying some relaxing time outside with some adult conversation and a beer.....it was such a nice night....I must say I really enjoy the time between dusk and dark outside....anyway......I could hear Kiara yelling...."Mom come here".....and I yelled back "I am outside".....I thought she was in Mom and Dad's room.....well she never yelled again so I knew everything was fine.....and continued relaxing with dad......So about 10 min later she comes outside and quietly says....."Mom, I went poop on the potty all by myself and didn't need any help, and I even wiped my butt"......and then she leans in and whispers "and it was a big poop, and there is none in my underwear"......She was so proud of herself.......so then I said "I am sorry for not coming in, I thought you were in my room watching TV".......her reply "Its OK Mommy, I didn't need your help"........after she went back inside......Shawn and I looked at each other.....and did one of those........"Wow, she is growing up, she just talked to us like she is older then 3"...............There was just something about the way she said it, the words she used and her mannerisms.....It is so rewarding to be a parent and watch your children evolve.........
