February 5th - Diaper Diaries

Dear Diaper Diary, Feb 5, 2008

I’m going to go ahead and post this Diaper Diary. If you want to read through them, you might go to the first one dated January 25th and come back to this one last...

As of today, he ran to the loo a little late a few times through out and after the official Poo day, but, seems to have a real handle on it now. He goes on his own now and afterwards announces the fabulous outcome. We celebrate--say good bye to the refuse--get stickered up and occasionally when the sticker line is full we get to choose a prize from the dwindling “Prize Bag”. We have started saying, “See Ya, wouldn’t want to Be Ya!” as the official good bye flush. Today we did the switch from the little portable potty to using the big potties with a step stool. He liked getting to use the big potty--so we are "In Like Flynn". I am well impressed with this boy. I am enjoying the freedom from diapers more than I can say! Jules is enjoying the Joy of Independence! He has grown a lot this past week. On Thursday, he turns 3. How fast they grow. I know he owns this accomplishment--Last night, Bruce was telling Jules a good night story that went something along the lines of...Once upon a time there was a little boy named Jules who was a super hero who drove a motorcycle, had lots of animals, went swimming with his friends...and Jules chimed in, "and he peed and pooped on the potty!"

Now, that the potty is conquered, lets see about some part time preschool? I bet Jules would “Fly” there, too. It’s great being a parent. We get to feel Joy in the little things and Great Joy in the Big things! E.T. looks pretty happy, too!
