My baby boy - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

is turning 3 tomorrow and he has started wearing underwear. I should be happy and yet, I feel somewhat sad. You see, he is our last child. There will be no more children for us. On the other hand, I see a little bit of my freedom slowly returning. I could have alot of fun with that freedom. I know my children will still need me for a very long time, but no diapers is a huge step.

How did you , or how will you, handle the last one growing up (or at least starting to)?

When my youngest turned 3, we handled it by.....

.......having another.

We now have 4 kids, so I think the freedom from diapers will mean more time to shuttle them off to soccer practice and ballet lessons. I think I will handle the changes by concentrating on what my kids are doing now and what they will be doing in the future. It seems like a good distraction from thinking about how they once were and will never be again.
