This afternoon EJT pooped in the potty. AMKT thinks we can put big-boy underpants on him before Christmas. “I may have bought our last package of diapers,” she said.

This evening CKT asked me if I believe in Santa Claus. He looked pretty concerned about how I answered.

Tonight CKT and AMKT snuggled on the couch to watch A Charlie Brown Christmas while I ironed clothes and looked on.

I never felt more like a grown-up in my life than I did today.
