Lydia is now fully potty trained. That is very good news. Unfortunately for Lydia, this means that she wears underpants now and with underpants comes wedgies. As you can plainly see from the picture above, Lydia’s wedgies are not your normal wedgies. With Lydia, if she wears a pair of underpants and they give her a wedgie then “There is a wedgie in those underpants.” In her mind it is as though there were some sort of small creature called a wedgie that lives in certain pairs of underpants and causes them to uncomfortably bunch in uncomfortable places. Once she knows that a pair of underpants has a wedgie in them, she will not wear them.
So we recently took a trip to the famous Garden Route of South Africa- sort of like the Monterray, Big Sur California coastline, only it’s in Africa and there are Elephants and beautiful African birds there. (Much more blogging about this trip to come.) While there we took a tour of a famous cave, and it was beautiful, but what was most memorable was our walk out of the cave.
Somehow, as we finished the tour of the cave, Lydia ended up at the front of the tour group. On this particular day she was wearing a cute blue dress we inherited from Marian Goates. Unfortunately, she was also wearing a pair of underpants with a wedgie in them. So, as Lydia walked at the front of the entire tour group she paused, lifted her dress up to her armpits with one hand, reached down to the offending underpants with the other hand, casually picked out the offending wedgie, and with a casual little shake of the bum the dress fell back into place and she resumed walking along the path. Meanwhile the tour guide and tour group all burst into laughter at our graceful little daughter.
Isn’t it great to be 2.

You write the best stories. Priceless picture! Poor Lydia, though. This picture will haunt her in 15 years.
That is so hilarious! I could picture the whole event in my mind very vividly. Kids are just a riot, aren't they.
