In a Blink...

We've had a breakthrough around here in the "potty war". Isaac has moved past just "pee-pee in the potty" and will now proudly proclaim to anyone willing to listen that he has done THE OTHER!

A victory, true, but it's still a bittersweet moment.

A few days ago, I stopped to watch Isaac, wearing only a size 2 t-shirt and diaper, struggle to drag a watering can half his size across the yard to fill the birdbath. Something about that moment made me pause.

Sweet? There's nothing cuter, in my eyes, than a toddler on a hot summer day, clad only in a diaper.

Bitter? The realization that he rarely actually "toddles" around these days. And when those diapers are gone, my little baby boy will be gone with them.
