I have so much to write about today, but I doubt I will be able to remember everything or say it very succinctly.
Our first Miracle happed this morning after church. Magda wanted me to change her diaper, but it wasn't dirty so she said she wanted to go potty. Once there she changed her mind and wanted to get a diaper back on so she could do her poops in a diaper. However, I have a friend whose 4-year-old still poops in a diaper and I really don't want to go there with Magda. So I encouraged her to stay on the potty; we sang a few songs and read a few books, and she pooped in the potty for the very first time!
The second Miracle happened this evening at bedtime. Magda took a late nap after hunting Easter eggs at Elizabeth's. She was running on a sleep deficit so I know she was still tired after her nap. Nevertheless, she took over an hour to fall asleep. Part of that was nursing, but after nursing both sides she was still restless and not sleeping. So I gave her some water, told her we were done nursing for the night, and we would cuddle to sleep. She said okay and though she continued to be restless and took at least another half hour to fall asleep, she didn't ask to nurse again and ended up falling asleep without nursing.
My baby's growing up. I'm going to miss her babyhood but I'm also looking forward to the next stage. Her progress is absolutely fascinating.

But somehow I feel like I missed out on a great opportunity to confuse her about where chocolate eggs come from, after her successful #2 yesterday morning...
