My Favorite Book

When I saw this book, I had a flashback of being at girl's camp and a junior leader reading this story. Although, it wasn't in book form, it was just a story printed out on the computer. I don't have the best memory, but I have honestly thought about this story many times throughout my life.

Well, when we lived in St. George, we were browsing Deseret Book and I happened to pick up this book. (Judging the cover of this book, they had me at 'chocolate'.) Lo and Behold, it was that story in picture book form.

Here's the book's description:

In this fictitious but true-to-life story, a young princess discovers that the little choices we make every day are often more important than we think. Any decision can make us stronger in our commitment to righteousness — or it can weaken our resolve to follow the strait and narrow path.

If you find yourself at the book store, check it out! It's basically a parable about chocolate cake, my kind of parable! I'm planning on using it in my next Relief Society lesson! Just thought I'd share!!

Big Girl Underwear

This little lady

is officially potty trained!!

For the longest time she was obsessed with wearing underwear over her diaper! She would tell everyone she was potty trained! Then one day we just gave it a whirl. I wanted to give up the first time she had an accident, but figured we'd push through.

Then you get to the point where you think, 'I'm too far in, I can't turn back.'

But needless to say, she was a pro! She hasn't had an accident through the night and it's been a month now and she's so great to just run in and use the bathroom, I hardly ever have to ask if she has to go. So we got lucky!! And now she can officially sport her big girl underwear!!

Let's be honest, is there anything cuter than a little kid booty??
