How You Know Your Son is a Big Boy

Moments ago, I was sitting on the couch watching The Marriage Ref when I suddenly heard this thumping sound coming from upstairs, seemingly from my 4-year old son's room. As I started to walk up the stairs because I was afraid my son was having a bad dream and kicking the wall (way out in left field, I know, but hey, it could happen), I then heard him going potty in the bathroom.

So I just sat on the stairs to listen and make sure that he didn't need my help. All with the lights turned off, he walked into the bathroom, went potty, and then walked back into his room. I suppose this is most impressive to me because I am used to him waking me up in the middle of the night to tell me he had a bad dream, when really he just needed me to go to the bathroom with him.

Wow, he didn't need my help...what a bittersweet moment. What a big boy!
