We took the kids out to dinner tonight. Towards the end of the meal, John asked to go to the bathroom. Daddy told him where it was and off he went. John came back a few minutes later and like clockwork Gillian said “Mom, I have to go potty.” It never fails they always do this. Never have to go at the same time. We could see the bathroom from our table and I said to Gillian “Think you can go by yourself?” This is a new thing for us, she has been going to the restroom without a chaperone only if we can see the bathroom. She hesitated a little. John said “I’ll show you!” He proceeds to walk her to the bathroom and we expected him right back. But he didn’t come right back. He stood by the door until she came out.

John, you constantly amaze me. Thank you for being an amazing big brother!
