I can’t believe it’s been a YEAR since I last changed a
diaper! It was almost exactly a year ago when B fatefully asked to use the potty...and she never looked back!
It’s been almost surreal to look at pictures from last
fall and remember – in a good portion of them – Baby B was wearing a
diaper.

| Picking leaves from the tree in the backyard last October...you can barely see B's diaper over the top of her pants. |
It seems like SO long ago that I
placed her on the changing table and heard that familiar “rip” of the tape.
Now don’t get me wrong…I’m not saying I miss that stinky
diaper pail, exactly. [Although there
are times when the girls seem to play musical potty chairs, though, when I long
for the convenience of not having to deal with babes in public restrooms!]
And I do remember a few times when I thought I would absolutely
D.I.E. if I had to change another diaper in a day. Of course I think those times all happened
before I put a changing pad downstairs, when I was traipsing up and down the
steps 17 times a day with a wet and/or stinky baby in hand.
Those times seem like such a distant memory. It’s proof that the more unpleasant memories
do seem to fade over time.
I love my baby girls.
And I’m so very proud of them. I
just can’t believe how quickly they’re becoming big girls.
Hmmm…I guess the next step in coming to grips with this
phenomenon would be getting rid of the changing pad that’s STILL on their
dresser upstairs??? That’s going to be a
tough one for me. I’m putting it off
until we transition them out of cribs. I’m
hoping I have a while. ;)

Now that's an anniversary to celebrate!
I can't imagine being past the diaper stage, but I know it is all just a season!
So what are you using the changing pad for now? Are you just keeping it their for old times' sake??
So you're thinking by high school this transition will be complete? LOL I kid!!
My changing table has found a second career as a percussion accessory table. So when are we getting big girl beds??
Oh gosh yes, and so they do grow up way way too fast.
It's officially time for the crib sides to come down :)
what are you using the changing pad for???
i couldn't wait to get rid of it when they got too long... about a year ago!
and yesss i can't wait for that anniversary one day in the distant future :)
