It must be something seeing your kids have kids. Mom & Dad tell us frequently how well Matt & I are doing with the boys. I read/have read a couple of books trying not to screw them up (at least not beyond repair, right?) and Dad reminds me that the three of us turned out pretty good and there weren't a lot of books on the subject - or maybe it wasn't the thing. Either way - he's right...we all turned out pretty good.
But nothing in a book prepares you for the day your 2 1/4 year old son decides to take off his clothes and I had Sean & Joe to watch. Jake had a fever today so I had to get him from daycare early. After the miracle drugs of Tylenol and Motrin, he was back to his regular self. I guess he decided his pull up was full enough.
He undid one side of it, looked down and said "No stinkies in there" and proceded to take it off. He then smartly went for a diaper - one of Nick's. Eager to watch this unfold, I handed him a diaper of his own and watched him some more. He went over to his toddler sized sofa and tried to put the diaper on himself. Not so much - so I helped. He then put his shorts on-correctly.
Thinking we were on the right track, I turned back to the task at hand - feeding Nick. There goes Jake again, taking off his shorts. Then his diaper - which he then placed in a box I had just emptied from a delivery. He ran around giggling for a while and even managed to go in the potty.
I watched all of this unfold thinking I should grab a camera but I didn't want to distract him. I'm sure it's not as funny in words as it was in person, but thought you all might get a little kick out of it!

It was very funny just in words. I was envisioning the whole thing!!!! Kenny has recently fiddled with his diaper but hasn't gotten it completely off yet - thank goodness:)
