Top ten signs that Jilliann is growing up

1. She now sleeps in an adult bed, uses adult silverware and adult potty seat only.
2. She answers the phone (no more screening calls for me!).
3.She tries her hardest to dress herself, saying, "Mommy watch" and is mostly successful (like right now as Papa hands her pajamas).
4. She tells me "Good job, Mommy" when I do something she appreciates like driving or sometimes I even get a "Good job at going potty, Mommy." (By the way, I prefer Mama, but she's clung onto Mommy lately and yeah, we still potty together.)
5. She has her own computer (cool school computer).
6. She often speaks in full sentences, past and present and all.
7. She's going to grow out of all of her shoes at once in like two weeks (but since the boots fit, don't have to worry about that until Spring).
8. She's aware of becoming a big sister and gives my bellybutton kisses, hugs, food and toys.
9. She no longer naps! What?! Yeah, I was really hoping she would hold out until those first few newborn weeks passed....bummer for Mama.
10. From toddler to teenager: she begins many sentences with, "So, um....."
