The Diaper Monster

Wednesday morning I had to break the news to Blake: the diaper monster came and took all of his diapers because he is 3 years old now and he needs to wear big boy underpants and go on the potty. He took the news fairly well, he just wondered if the diaper monster was scary, and of course I told him he was very scary and I didn't want him to come back so we better start using the potty! He agreed that he would wear his Superman underpants and although he had several accidents he is doing great. He has gone on the potty and without diapers since Wednesday, he doesn't even want to wear a pull up to bed, he told Tim, "but Daddy I don't need it". We have even braved it without a pull up to the grocery store and he came home dry!!! We are so excited and so proud of him. It is comical, the first time he pooped on the potty he jumped off, looked in the toilet, and exclaimed, "I LIKE THIS". He isn't shy about showing everybody his underpants either :)
Ah, our little boy is growing up, now everybody keep your fingers crossed he doesn't lose interest.
Don't worry, we haven't left Bryce out of the fun, he is invited to all of the potty parties we have, and he is happy to observe. Hopefully this means he will potty train quicker and easier than his stubborn big brother.
