hold it, hold it!

so, here's my funny story of the day, well other than finding out that ethan had poured his milk into one of my flower pots this morning. Ryan has been home lately, and so I've been able to take advantage of his being home because he gets up early and can watch ethan in the mornings so I can sleep in a little bit. Last night Ethan woke up some time during the night and I couldn't get him to go back to sleep. Finally I asked Ryan to try to get him to sleep and he ended up just sleeping in his room with him. This morning I let Ethan run around in his pj's until finally I decided around 11:00 that he really should get dressed for the day. I normally get him dressed when he wakes up, but I didn't think it would hurt any to let him run around in his pj's this morning. I came into the front room with his clothes and he was standing in the hallway with this funny look on his face. I could tell he was going the bathroom, so I un-zipped his pj's to find that he didn't have a diaper on. I had just assumed that Ryan had changed Ethans diaper this morning when he got up with him, but Ryan informed me that he hadn't changed Ethan's diaper, so that meant that the poor kid had gone all night and up until 11 this morning holding it in until he just couldn't anymore, which probably explains why he was having such a hard time going back to sleep last night. I really thought I had put a diaper on him when I got him out of the tub last night and into his pj's. He has never held it in for so long on purpose, so it is possible that maybe he is getting ready to be potty trained. I had planned to wait until he was around 3, because I had heard it is easier to potty train boys when they are older. I'm not excited to start potty training, so we will just see how things go.
