Ruby knows a trick to get us to stop the car

Been a while! Here are some pictures to show you what Ruby looks like these days:

She is starting to take interest in the potty. In fact, we have attempted two evenings with her in regular cotton shorts, and she managed to tell me twice that she needed to potty. I was very proud of her. She did have one accident, but she told me right away because it distressed her very much. A good sign, I'd say.

We recently took a surprise trip (it even surprised us that we did it) to New England to watch Grampy play the Duke of Cornwall in a production of King Lear. The ride is many hours long, and Ruby figured out that if she says, "I have poopoo," we would stop the car to check. She got us three times with that, until finally we decided if we don't smell it, it ain't there.
