My Child is growing up!

Day Four:

I finally figured out that underwear are a big waste of time and money. Here is a valuable lesson, just let your child run around naked. It is so much easier and less headache. Oh and make sure you are available for at least 72 consecutive hours.

JJ woke up on the wrong side of bed today and I was in no mood to push him so I let him run around without underwear or a diaper on. Of course, he pee'd on the floor and nearly took the rabbit with him. I had to give in and put a diaper on him as I had to head off to the dentist while his Dado took him to McDonalds. Amazingly, out of the 10 grandchildren, JJ is the only child that can get his Dado to buy a Happy Meal. My husband and I are still trying to figure out what he said to his grandfather. Anyway, when I returned from the dentist, I immediately took the diaper off without saying a word. And you guessed it, he asked to use the potty.

At this point I am so excited, he used the potty all day. It was then that I decided that after two days of not showering, it was time to have some "me" time. Not sure if you all know this but JJ's dad works the hours of 12-9, so this leaves me and JJ on our own with the clock ticking. Anyway, I hop into the shower, within seconds JJ comes flying in with a Popsicle that he took out of the freezer himself. I take it away and continue on washing my hair. It was somewhere between this time and the sea salt scrub that my child disappeared.

I called for my son a few times and heard nothing in response. So I flew through every room in the house in a state of panic. When I noticed the freezer door was opened, I began to wonder if my son is hiding somewhere. It was to my surprise that JJ had unlocked the back door slider, put on one shoe, took a Popsicle and was flying around commando in the back yard with my neighbors. And her comes his naked mother in a towel out the back door. I look up and see my neighbors along with a friend I have never seen smiling. Horrifying! I was distraught, I couldn't even grab my son because I was in a towel. I had to pretend like I wasn't in a towel and began a small conversation with them explaining to them why my son was flying around with no pants and one shoe on.

Feeling: Frustrated
