Growing Up

My Little Man is wearing big-boy undies.

:-(

I'm very upset at this. He's my baby at 3. I only have two and he's it.

He's actually going to be 4 in a few months. Up until now, he has refused to potty train. It's not because he's not ready, it's because he knows that if he doesn't wear a diaper, he'll have to cease playing so he can go to the bathroom. To me, that's a pretty smart kid to have figured that out.

Thursday, when I picked them up for dinner, their day care person and I were discussing this. She suggested that I get Little Man some undies and just let him wear them. So, last night, we picked up some big-boy undies. I let him pick out what he wanted. And now he has them on. Been a half hour and so far, so good.

But, *sniff*, my Little Man is growing up.....

Now I Remember!!!!!

I just thought of the photo I took of Little Man yesterday morning! I think that's what I wanted to write about...maybe not, but this is funny anyway!

Yesterday, Little Man decided to wake up between five and five thirty. Insane, I know, but he's an early riser. Makes for one tired mama, though, as I'm a night owl and go to bed around midnight most nights.

Anyway.

At around eight or eight thirty, he decided to crawl up beside me in my bed and go back to sleep for a little while. I had changed him out of his overnight diaper into his monster truck pull ups, which he loves because they're like undies, but he can still not use the toilet (lazy boy).

A little while later, I look over at him (I love watching the kids sleep, there's nothing better). Then I did a double take.

There he was, laying on his back, with BOTH his hands in his pull up! Like, all he needed was a beer and the remote!

What is this? My girl didn't do this. Is this a guy thing? Do guys need to make sure things are still down there? I mean, even when I change him, his hands are automatically drawn there. I just don't get it. What is the fascination?

Any help, guys?
