How Many Times

will Tater change his underwear during the course of a day? It has started. Yesterday after going to the bathroom, I noticed he wasn’t back. I went looking for him. He had just finished putting on some new underwear and sticking the old underwear BACK in the drawer.

I took the old one out and asked him why he was changing them. He said because they were dirty. I felt them. Not wet. I looked at them. Nope, not a speck of dirt. But he put on his own underwear and I was proud of him. I did have to run out and warn the in-laws and Daddy not to say anything about them being inside out. He did it himself was the important part.

Now the questions from me are… how many times will this occur a day? And how will I convince him NOT to put back the stuff he was wearing? Its bad enough I do so much laundry during the day, but to have to add even more. Along with getting the stuff out of the drawer to wash, just in case. UGH. Help me out. I will survive the changing of the underwear, but how do I teach him NOT to put the old ones back in? I have no clue where that came from. We have a hamper. He knows how to use it.

Ummmm, at least he isn't leaving it on the floor like someone's husband that I know (not undies, but shorts, shirts, jeans, etc.)... :)

WARNING: If his undies have pictures on their backside, he might start wearing them backwards so he can see the pictures. That's what my boys did.

Wha??? I see nothing wrong with this. Teach him to turn them inside out, and all's cool. Twice the life! :)
