Dear Someone

Dear Bug,

Most of the time I appreciate that you’re a child with an opinion. I know you don't understand this but the Pull-Ups package isn’t filled with the “Cowboy and Rope” Pull-Ups--there are other designs as well. I know Cowboy and Rope is your preference (because you demand it every single time) but you need to wear the other ones, too. See, lookie here: Woody and Buzz TOGETHER...isn't that great?!Yeah, I know, it’s not what you want. I hear it every day. You know what I want? (Do you care?) How about you use the potty MORE and we can toss all of the Pull-Ups (including Cowboy and Rope) and you can wear big boy underwear? Sound good? I'll buy Cowboy underwear, I swear...

Love,
Mommy

Dear Huggies,

Any chance I can special order packages of Pull-Ups with one design? It would make my mornings, afternoon and evenings life easier and my little boy a lot happier.

I’m begging you Sincerely,
Mag

Dear Summertime,

It looks like this is a good season for books. My long list of must reads is growing by the day. If Bug and I could figure a few things out, I wouldn’t need to spend time reading 1-2-3 Magic read the toddler books and could focus on all those novels calling out to me.

Now I just need a long vacation to go with that list so I can find the time to absorb every word (and maybe a few rays, too).

Sigh,
Me

  1. G used to wear the dora pull-ups and when we switched to the disney princess ones she about had a fit. if they'd just make one option, life would be so much better...

  3. Buzz and Woody together?!?!!??? I want some. If only they made bikinis like that.

    You are so right, this is the summer for reading. I'm almost done with my second novel and I have a stack of books yet to tackle! I can't wait to read them all :)

  4. Hahaha! You could get those diapers that look like blue jeans...do they make pull ups in that style?

  5. Oh, I am with you that they just need to get potty trained already! Luckily, Miss E will go with any of the pull-ups (boys or girls) but I am ready to be done with any type of diaper!

    And reading grown-up books? What's that? Sigh.

  10. Gah! Don't get me started on pull-ups :) I think I'm going to start buying the really cheap-o ones for Sarah - hopefully they will be super-uncomfortable and she'll just decide to use the darn toilet (but in my head I know she won't until SHE's ready too...)

    Have you seen the 'cool alert' pull-ups? I want the 'my pants are on fire because I tinkled' pull-ups. Maybe that will get their attention!

  11. ha. I always love your letters.

    I never used a single pull up (on my child of course). I didn't find them all that different from a regular diaper-maybe you could decorate a plain old diaper yourself. :) (I realize that Pull Ups may have changed over these many years...maybe they are a whole lot better than before. I'm glad I don't have to KNOW!! :) )
