So we all know how much we love kids in this house! I have said before that if we lived in a perfect world where my body allowed me to house a precious little one for 9 months and safely deliver that same perfect little one and $$$ wasn't a hurdle to jump every time I blinked, I could easily become the next Michelle Duggar! I.LOVE.KIDS!
Well, my little BooBear, who is affectionately referred to as Sunshine more than anything now, is almost 3 1/2 and still is NOT interested in taking time out of his day to go potty on the big potty because that is what diapers are for. If I didn't have a daycare I would just put him in undies and deal with the mess until he didn't like that any more....BUT, I have a daycare and I have to keep things sanitary so that isn't an option around here. ANYWAY, my mom was here over the weekend and we discovered that yet again Boos diaper was soaking wet and we had just sat down to eat a night time snack...jokingly Handsome told Boo to go change his own diaper, because if he is going wet it he can change it! We fully didn't expect this of him, in fact I didn't know it was even possible. Shortly after I saw him putting a folded up wet diaper away and he came out and told us he was finished! The child changed his own diaper! Does this happen? How can a child be strong willed enough to not go potty in the potty chair but decide that when his diaper is wet he can change it himself.
He has done it a couple of times since then, one being this morning! He woke up and I asked him if his diaper was wet...he told me that it was and I was feeding one of the twins so I asked him to wait until I had finished. Well then all of a sudden he said, "I do it Mama!" He very dutifully walked over to his diaper drawer and picked one for himself. He then walked into the bathroom, was in there for about 10 minutes, came out fully dressed with the wet diaper folded up nicely for the trash and walked over and threw it away! He came over for me to inspect and he had done almost as well as if I had done it myself....
SOOOOO, anyone have any suggestions? I mean, really, this is insane! Please leave suggestions in the comments box....this is a whole new playing field to me! He has just upped the anty!

heehee, that's so funny. I suppose he can't be stopped now. While I don't have any children myself, I would guess it's unusual to have a self changer. :D Very gifted little boy!
