Training them young

I thought I would share a fun quick little story about my toddler.

E-man is a very strong willed little boy. If something is happening that he does not like, he fights and screams and kicks with every ounce in his body. What is one thing he does not like? His diaper changes. Its a huge battle trying to change him. Some days he will be as good as gold but usually he is a feisty little guy. Over the last couple of days I've been watching him and I am noticing he likes to help out Mommy with the diapers. After I change him or his little brother he will take the diaper, run it to the bathroom and if its just wet, will open the diaper pail and throw it in. (I do have to go in and pull it out so I can take the insert out of the pocket...eww). Now if that diaper is poopy... He knows to let mommy carry it to the bathroom. E-man will say "Go to baff room Mommy, I spray it!" So on we go to the bathroom, he reaches behind the toilet and grabs the sprayer, then I reach behind and turn it on. Luckily he doesn't know how to turn it on or push the button down on the sprayer yet. No matter how terrible he is when getting his diaper changed he can still make mommy happy by doing simple little things like taking care of his own diaper.
