Such a sweetie

Jaden is really growing up. She has not worn a pull up at bedtime for two weeks now! This was rough but it was her choice. Actually she demanded "dont make her wear pull ups anymore because they are for baby lil!" Baby Lil is the new addition the group of nieces I have and will most likely be called baby lil until she is old and grey.
Anyhow, Jaden really did not want to wear the pull ups any longer. She hasn't worn pull ups since around 2 and a half years old, just at night. About three weeks ago I started noticing that when I would check on her after she fell asleep, she would have no pants on....no pull up either. Now at first I thought this was just a weird Jaden thing, as she used to take off all her clothes and sneak into my bed and snuggle with her stuffed piggie. Jaden likes being naked. She like that moment just before tub time when she gets to be in "the buff" or in her words her "naked suit". She runs around and jumps on the couch, then jumps on the bed all the while laughing in her silly little laugh. She loves it. She shakes her chubby little butt and and has a blast. Now that I have totally embarrassed her and said too much, please allow me to continue...
So, I thought this whole not keeping her pants on was a weird Jaden thing. Until the third time in a row she did it I asked her "why?".
"Because I am not a baby Lil" as if Lilly was some kind of species that Jaden was not related to anymore. Like Lily is the theory of evolution and Jaden wants no part of it!
Then she quickly says " I just want to wear panties in bed like Joei" so that was it. She is a pantie wearer at bedtime now and thus ends the chapter of diapers, training pants and wipes. Its like the end of an era.
It is weird though, I miss the days of changing those tiny little diapers.

So in closing...Jaden loves being naked, doesn't sleep in pull ups, and does not want to be "a baby lil".
