Sleeping Cutie

Trent is a little cutie...especially when he's sleeping! Trent is constantly torn between being a sweet baby who needs his mama to sit with him and drink juice with him and wanting to be big, tough and independent. (He puts this struggle on himself...we're fine with him being a baby a little longer.) He still takes naps some days because he is so tuckered out from the day's adventures. But, we're sometimes able to skip naps too, which is nice. He recently learned how to swim (almost) by himself and he goes underwater and swims to an adult. He is VERY proud of himself for doing this and now just about refuses to wear an innertube/swim ring at all, because he thinks that's for "babies". (I sometimes have to make him wear one so that he takes a break and so do I!) The other night, Trent said he didn't want to wear diapers at night-night anymore. He said he wanted to wear underwear like Bra-Bra. Not wanting to discourage him from trying this out, we let him do it. He proudly laid in his bed with his undies on and we told the boys "goodnight". After about 5 minutes, Trent came out of his room and told me, "I no wanna wear unnerwear no more." So, we put his nighttime diaper back on him and he fell asleep fairly quickly. We love our sweet little baby and are proud of him and all of his natural instincts about growing up!
