The longest journey....

...begins with the fist step.

Today -- inspired by some new Spider-man underwear -- Owen decided he was ready to try using the potty full-time without the safety-net of a diaper.

Overall, the day was a success. In the morning, he wet his pants right before nap time. After his little accident, Owen said he would "try again later."He took a brief nap during which he wore diaper -- which was fortunate, especially since he woke himself up with a big poop.

Well, later turned out to be this afternoon after his nap. He was ready to try again, and with a little more vigilance from mom & dad, and a little lesson learned by the boy, there was a dry diaper at bath time tonight.

Not so bad for the first day. :)
