"Mommaaaaaa! I'm naked!!!!!!!!!" - as told by my Momma

Saturday night Ben and I had already gone to bed, when close to midnight, I heard a little voice from the room next door. Muffled by multiple walls and the door, I couldn't understand what Mark was saying, but the fact that he was saying anything at midnight made me decide to go check on him. I went into his room, and was welcomed with the somewhat drowsy announcement: "Momma! I'm all naked! Help!" Not quite sure what to expect, and still clumsy with sleep, I felt my way over to Mark's bed. Reaching for him, I found a fuzzy head, and a bare shoulder. Uh Oh. Followed by bare back. Not wanting to feel any further surprises, I asked Mark, "Mark, did you take your nighty off???" and was answered (with a bit of pride in his voice), "Yep! I'm all naked!"

You see, up until last week we kept Mark in the dark about the fact that he can indeed take his own clothes off. Now that Mark is an underpants-man, he can take off his own pants and underpants to go potty. He can unzip his nighty, and wiggle out of it. He still wears a diaper during the night (not during his nap though), and he now knows how to take it off so he can go potty.

After putting Mark's nighty back on and tucking him in, I went back to bed. Ben had the brilliant thought to ask whether his diaper was on - I couldn't remember, so Ben checked. All was well, and we went back to sleep.
