Got a visit yesterday from a mom and a little girl who had attended my first two- and three-year-old storytime on Monday.\u00c2\u00a0 At the end of the storytime I handed out a “medal” to each child that said either “I’m a Big Boy!” or “I’m a Big Girl!”, and this mom said to me yesterday, “You have NO idea how much that meant.”\u00c2\u00a0 And then she went on to explain that her daughter had shown off her medal all day on Monday, to everyone she saw.\u00c2\u00a0 But more importantly, this little girl also told her mom on Monday that she didn’t want to wear diapers anymore.\u00c2\u00a0 It was the turning point in this one little girl’s life, and she hasn’t worn diapers since.\u00c2\u00a0 Wow.<\/p>\n
