Potty Training Himself

Yesterday when my brother went in to retrieve Jude from his quiet time, something was afoot. There was an open, poopy diaper on the floor next to a pile of thirteen wipes or so. Britt didn't think Mike or I would leave poopy diapers lying around, and use that many wipes, but maybe we'd let things slip? Also surprising, Jude had no pants on and some superman underwears on inside out. He hadn't realized we would hazard putting Jude down for a nap without a diaper, but maybe things had rapidly progressed in the 24 hours since we had last seen him. Britt put some pants on Jude and brought him down to us. Jude started playing and after a half hour or so, when giving Jude a hug, I noticed a serious lack of padding on Jude's normally diapered bum. Jude then informed us that he had changed his own diaper and put on his special underwears all by himself. A few seconds later, he told me he needed to urinate in the toilet (there is no "pee-pee in the potty" at our house, per Mike's insistence) and then he did. When I checked his bum, it was remarkably clean. Mike went up to investigate and the kid really did change his own diaper and put on his own undies. Oh, how I wish I could have seen that diaper change, least of all to see his technique. Hopefully next time he'll keep me in the loop.
