This very well could be the last box of diapers I ever buy for myself! Well, not actually for MYSELF, but for a person who lives in my home......and for some reason, I just want to cry! Part of me is thinking, wow, this is great....think of all of the money I can save by not having to buy diapers by the truckload...and hey, we can all go to the bathroom in the potty, no more wipes, no more dirty diapers....and then the mommy side of me thinks, how could it have gone by so fast? How can it possibly be that I am getting ready to potty train my youngest child? Where in the world has the time gone? And, to be honest, I would probably let him stay in diapers until dooms day, but HE has informed me that he is ready to use the potty....well, not is so many words, but we have hit a patch of pulling our diapers off ALL THE TIME! He thinks it is the funniest thing. The other night H went into his room to check on him after he had gone to sleep, and he came into the living room and asked me if I had checked on him...I said no, and he said, "Well, he doesn't have a diaper on." And then he just looked at me...like I had put our child to bed without a diaper on...so, when I went to look, he was laying on his tummy, t-shirt on, asleep, sucking HARD on his paci, and all bare on the bottom half. I sooo wish I would have gotten a picture. It was too cute! When I asked him about it the next morning, he said he just wanted to take it off (for another story see Funny Things My Boys Said)...anyway, a few nights ago when I got him out of the bathtub he said to me, "I want to put on a big boy diaper." So I said, "Well, what kind of diaper is this?" (referring to the Pamper in my hand)....he said, "That is a baby diaper." "Well, Logan, what kind of diaper do big boys wear?" "They are the kind that have Meo (Nemo) on them and you just pull them up." So, at this point, I decide he must be talking about pull-ups...yes, my child asked for pull-ups....so besides the fact that is ready for pull-ups he is also ASKING for them.
This is too much for this mama's heart! I long for the small baby I could cuddle and rock and love on....wait, who am I kidding, he has always been beyond that.....he was too involved in the world around him to do much of that...but I can dream! And then, I stop and thank God for the fact that I have not one, but two, healthy, active, energetic boys who are becoming quite independent and so much fun to talk with. So, how about y'all? Any mommy moments lately?
