From diapers to "underwears"

It's official, Joshua has overnight made the transition from diapers to "underwears". We've been one week and one day with only one accident...an accident that was partially mommy's fault. My once cuddly little love bug is turning into daddy's big boy. I knew this transition would come. It's a milestone that all children go through and parents every where celebrate it's arrival. I thought I would be celebrating, but instead find myself with mixed emotions. On the one hand I am so proud of the independence he is achieving. I see his confidence soaring, and I see the beaming smile on his face each team he "feeds the pot". On the other hand I see so many changes accompanying this transition. My once chubby cherub is now losing his baby fat. His rolls and creases are quickly giving way to muscle and a thinner stature. The absence of diapers is one of many signs that baby days will soon be a distant memory, and mommy's baby will soon be mommy's little man. Here's hoping my heart can take it!
