Me: "Theo, no honey, we do NOT take our diapers off. They stay on our bottoms so mommy doesn't have to clean the carpet 387309033 times a day, and when mommy doesn't have to clean the carpets everyone is happy. There's no need to walk around on other people's waste is there? No, no there is not. So that, my darling boy, is why we will contiue to keep diapers on our bottoms. Okay muffin?"
Theo: "Blah blah blah."

What's really sad is that I actually double checked the number to see if you were talking in 10s of millions or hundred's of millions. Because really, when you're cleaning the carpet THAT much, does the difference really even matter?!? :)
I fear the day the Wee Ski begins taking his diapers off!!

I have similar conversations in my own house 387309033 times a day. Totally.

So do you think you got thru to him? :) Or will you have to repeat this as your mantra 387309033 times a day until he's potty trained? Which is worse saying it 387309033 times a day or cleaning it up 387309033 times a day? :)

Ha ha! Like Shelley, I tried figuring out the number!

So does this mean we are potty training? Or Theo's just in that stage of living and loving life naked!?

I am soooo happy that I am way past those days.

If that explanation doesn't work, explain to him about coxsackie. Nobody wants to be a little coxsacker. Trust me on this.

Ah yes, diaper removal is right up there with what Harper used to do - diaper digging!
