Today JT is leaving the diaper at home and going to school wearing underwear.  And all it took was a family effort.

After sending Q to his room to change out of his pajamas I spent a good ten minutes with JT trying to sing the praises of Elmo undies.  He wasn’t buying it.  Being the quick thinking Papi that I am I promoted the idea of underwear by dropping my pajamas and saying, “Look son, you’ll have underwear just like Papi.”  JT smiled.

At that moment Q walked into the room.  He was obviously taking a break from getting dressed because he was still in his underwear.  He said, “Look JT, I have calzones (underwear) too.” JT smiled again.

Mami came into the room to get dressed for work.  Why not get everyone into the act?  “JT even Mami has underwear,” I volunteered.  Mami gave me a look…and then dropped her pajamas.  JT started to laugh.

There we were three of us in our underwear and a toddler in a diaper. You get the picture, so there is no need to post any.

Soon JT had his own underwear on and we were off to school. Of course we were taking 3 or 4 changes or underwear and clothes.  Everything takes time and there is a time for everything.
