“Oh you already took it off?” Mom asked as she realized that I was no longer wearing the diaper.

Shaking my head, “John did it,” I said as though I were accusing him of a great crime.

She seemed to be surprised by that bit of information, “Well that’s wonderful!” she finally said before reaching out and taking hold of my arm.

She pulled me toward her and then felt my pajama bottoms for any sign of moisture. “Well it did a good job of keeping your pajama’s dry.”

I wasn’t sure I could take much more and in a still small voice I asked, “Mom, can I take my bath now.”

“Of course you can sweetie.” She said kissing my cheek and petting my hair.
