Clever Boy

For the last couple weeks Matthias will wake up in the morning (anytime between 4:30 and 6:00 am) and bring us a diaper and wipe...or at least stand at the door holding one if it's been locked. I've thought how odd that is, but can you really refuse a two year old wanting his diaper changed?

Finally the other day it dawned on me what was happening...

We generally lock the boys' door at night or Matthias will come out and wander around the house at crazy hours. We've found him on the counter, stove, our medicine cabinet, etc. Clearly it is safer to keep him in the bedroom. However, James obviously has to get out to use the bathroom so if he needs to go he'll just knock on the door and we let him out to go potty. Matthias doesn't have this luxury and just gets stuck in there until morning.

Isn't my two year old so clever? More so than me. He figured out the way to escape the room...using the potty. Hence the diaper each morning. And it worked for him every morning when I would let him out to change his diaper.

What a smart little boy.
