Goodbye Big Butt

Clementine decided to potty train herself right as we were moving last month, I kid you not she started asking to use the potty a week before we moved. Now she's going through a (normal) reversion stage that is making me crazy. It's like having a new puppy except there's no new puppy, you get me? Just the puppy shoes, har har:

In addition to that, she's going through a (normal) whiny/clingy phase that always seems to accompany birthdays and other big transitions. Let's see: moving to a new house, turning two, potty training, starting preschool (she's in a "twos" class so I guess it's probably closer to daycare than school but we call it preschool)? Yup, I think that qualifies as Major Transition. So it's hard, but it's good, you know? Growing up and change, the inevitable story of life.

Still, I was a wee bit sad when I realized that this is probably the last pair of Big Butt Baby Pants I'll ever make for her. Her tiny little underpants-clad butt just doesn't fill these out like it used to. The rulers are still one of my favorite prints (Cosmo Cricket, you might recognize it from this Charlie Tunic) and cute for going back to school. Anyway, she'll still wear them, but it's time to pull out a new pants pattern for this big big girl!
