Big Girl, potty time, excellent

Today we bought Genevieve her first pair of big girl underpants. It's very strange to think we will someday soon be done with diapers. She loves the new underpants by the way, although she needs some practice - she went thru 2 pairs in 10 minutes after her bath tonight.

Speaking of underpants, Alex has now gone almost a week (since last Sunday night) wearing underpants to bed without incident. We still wake him up a couple of times each night to go potty. He doesn't really wake up at all, just kind of slumps over half asleep, but it gets the job done.

Someday, as parents, we will again resume sleeping thru the night. But I am afraid that at about that same time we will have to begin staying up late waiting for one of the kids to get home.

It is amazing how one can manage with very little sleep! Good luck with the potty training. I have always said it is right up there with learning to drive!
