Carter’s Pants

Daddy has been letting Carter take his own pants off when it’s time to change into PJs at bedtime…  No, that’s not quite right.  Daddy has been ENCOURAGING Carter to take his own pants off at bedtime.  Of course, Allison gets undressed and dressed into PJs by herself at bedtime.  I’m usually picking up toys or putting things away or reminding Allison that’s it’s getting-ready-for-bed time, not wild-and-crazy time.  So, I think I can claim innocence for the the problem that has been occurring with Carter’s pants.

 That is… Last night when I went in to check on the kids before I went to bed, both little angels are sound asleep - and Carter’s PJ pants were on the headboard of Allison’s bed.  How did they get there?  I’ll bet my young son took them off by himself and flung them out of his crib.  See, not only can he take his pants off by himself, but he’s also working on his pitching arm.  And if the bulls eye is the window blinds, I’d say he’s got a shot at the major leagues!  But that’s another story…

 For today’s nap-time adventure, Carter took his pants and diaper off.  This was not the first time he has accomplished this amazing feat.  Oh no.  It’s been about a week now since I have required that a onesie be used as part of his nighttime sleeping attire.  In this house we consider a onesie to be “the thing that holds the diaper on”.  It seems to be working at night…so far.  But I imagine it’s only a matter of time before our bright little guy figures out how to get that off too!
