Good-bye to the 'Girl Room'

After having two boys, I decided that at least one room had to be mine; girl's only okay! Officially this 'all-girl' room is no longer all- girl. On Saturday night we put S. to bed in underwear. Yes, he's been potty-trained for a year and a half+, but we have been putting a diaper on him every night. In the beginning, it was because we knew for sure that he couldn't wake up dry. Then it became a 'next weekend' kind- of thing. As in 'next weekend we'll try leaving him in underwear overnight.' I admit, I was being lazy. I loathed the idea of waking up and having to change the sheets. Finally, I decided I had to try it, and Hubby agreed. S. was actually very excited. We told him if he had to go to the bathroom, to go ahead and get up and go to Mommy's bathroom. "Mommy's bathroom???!!!", he said making sure that he had heard correctly. We tucked him in for the night, and in less than ten minutes, we hear him moving the wooden stool over the ceramic floor in my bathroom. (In Daddy's bathroom he has a lighter, plastic stool). It seems he needed to make a poop. He yelled down for some wipes. Later I see a poop-stained wipe in my garbage. Yuk! So there. No more girly room. It's all-boys, all the time around here!
