So. Josiah Christian is potty-training. My sitter, and friend, declared this past week as time to get going because he was acting so ready with her. She is awesome......and competent. 4 days in a row, I sent him to her while I worked and she helped him do more on the potty and less in his pants. Yesterday I bought 2 more packs of underwear because I did not have enough. The kid is doing great. He is motivated. He is ready. He is 2 months away from being 3 years old.
Its a crazy thing.....to consider that the last baby of the family is almost done with diapers and homemade wipes.....we've been buying these for over 16 years straight. I'm ready to be done with diapers. I am. I love babies so, so much and if God brings them to my home I will say yes.....but I really, really think that we can definitively say we are almost done with diapers and homemade wipes.......and for selfish and financial reasons, its awesome. For reasons regarding Josiah.....its even more amazing. My little baby boy is growing up. He says and does things that are not baby anymore. He's a boy. Not a baby. I'm not sad but I am .......disrupted. His birth mama placed him with us as a baby and now he is growing up and its just unsettling in some ways. I didn't ever want him to stay a baby forever......but to see him change in big ways is just wierd. He says big words, like "vehicle" and he is break-dancing on friday night in the kitchen with Precious.....and wearing underwear. He dribbles a basketball. He is more boy than baby.
This kid is so special. He is wonderful and sweet and adorable. He is such a gift to me. He is potty training.......yikes. I need to just sit with that for awhile.
