That celebration will be coming up in the next week or so. Now, what should the pinata look like? Hmm... What is going to be inside?

P-iesta
Anjali has not been in diapers for many blessed years. Mark, however, has been in diapers since he was born. As most boys his age, he's resisting the move to a more grown-up and responsible approach (not to mention, economical) approach. In my wisdom (haha), I proposed that we have some sort of party to celebrate Mark's ditching of the diapers (pushing him out of the nest so-to-speak). Mark came up with the name. It is a Pee-iesta. Not quite a Siesta, it's a specialized kind of Fiesta. Not many people are invited to help us hit the pinata and celebrate Mark's next step - into underpants. :) Maybe this big event will help him overcome his fears in this big transition. (We've got a padded seat and everything.)

I beg to differ. It was your clever wife who came up with the title. :)
ReplyDeleteAs to the shape, Mark wanted a moon which given the bum theme is somehow rather fitting. However, Target didn't have moons so he got a bull which again seems rather appropriate in some way.
As to the filling, we got all kinds of good stuff- play-doh, balloons, squirt guns, bubbles, and fruit leathers. Unfortunately, the bull's legs and head are stuffed and not part of the open cavity so the actual space to fill is tiny. So, we put a few things in and put the rest in a book bag to pour out at the right moment.
And we've been talking about going potty on the big boy potty and wearing big boy underpants and whacking that pinata all week. Mom's been counting down the days and the remaining diapers.
