"I just.....want.......my pony!!!"

Ahhh Meredith. We have gotten her almost completely potty trained in 6 days! WOOHOO!! I say not completely just because at night she sleeps in a pull up, but in my mind, she's potty trained because that doesn't count. (In all honesty, I would rather her wear a pull up instead of waking me up 6 times a night to go to the bathroom. Yeah, I know that's bad of me, but I love me some sleep!!) ANYWAY.....once she went poo poo on the toilet, Mom Mom promised to take her out for a toy. So Wednesday morning, she hopped on the toilet, went to the bathroom and ran out screaming that we had to call Mom Mom! All Meredith wanted was "a little pony." So we went to Wal-Mart and she picked out a My Little Pony set that had about 3 ponies in it. She was so excited, we went home and she played with her ponies all day, took them jumping on the trampoline, brought them in when we took bath, and then it was bedtime. And we had a missing pony. The yellow pony was nowhere to be found, and we had a very distraught little girl. So we began the search. Melanie and I were downstairs searching in and under all the couches, all the bins and drawers in the playroom, and we even checked in 2 of Meredith's favorite places, the pantry and the refrigerator. No yellow pony. This all started around 9:30, and the 3 of us were searching for this pony while she just stood at the top of the stairs in her Tangled nightgown, holding her blanket and her other ponies, just pathetically whining..."But I just.......want.....my pony!" It was one of the saddest things I have ever heard in my life! So I asked her, "Meredith, do you remember the last place you had your yellow pony?" "Yes Mommy.....I had my pony in my hands!" Thank you very much for all of your help, Mere!!! :) At 10:30, we gave up with the promise of looking again in the morning, and if we couldn't find it then, we would go back to Wal-Mart and get another yellow pony. I still have no idea where in the world that little girl put her first yellow pony! We had to go back to the store and get a new one...I guess if we ever find the original one, we now have a back up!
