See that diaper on Audie's cute little bottom? Well, IT'S THE LAST DIAPER I OWN!!! We are officially out of diapers and I'm sorry if this is something you don't care about - it is an AWESOME feeling for me! We still do the pull-up thing only at night, but no more diapers! If only I would have realized it when I bought that last pack - I would have run down the aisle in the commissary, throwing diapers in the air, screaming "I'M NEVER BUYING THESE AGAIN!" After three years of what feels like must have been 3 million diapers, I'm a happy girl. Of course, I'll still buy them to give to people with new babies, but there is a certain "light at the end of the tunnel" feeling that comes along with never again buying them to be used at my house. I also realize that I shouldn't get too excited. I mean, God works miracles (thankfully)...but, if our plan is aligned with God's, then no more diapers. Did you hear that, God? If ever there was a time to let me have it my way...
It's time to move on and start to enjoy the children I have. The children that are old enough to dress themselves and feed themselves and slide down three-story roller slides like this:
You can view a video of us here.
Seriously, Japan knows how to do playgrounds. This slide was awesome. And we got a pretty good workout climbing the stairs back to the top every time, too! This was how we spent Mother's Day afternoon and it was awesome. It is just nice to finally be able to get out and do fun things without having to think too much about whether or not the kids are old enough. Time to enjoy life.
