My wife is upstairs with the two older girls, and I have Katie on the floor in front of me. I am sliding her pajamas on while her eyes are glued to the TV.
"Daddy?"
"Yes honey?"
"Can I have pop?"
"Not anymore tonight sweetheart, maybe tomorrow."
Her attention has gone back to the TV.
When I finish with her pajamas, I move myself to the couch and she sits up and squares herself with the TV.
Katie's diaper is peeking out from the waistband of her blue pajamas. At 4 years old, my wife and I haven't been able to potty train her at night yet.
A commercial break inturrupts the show.
I pick my youngest daughter up under the arms and bring her up to my lap.
"Hey sweetheart?"
"Yeah?"
"You know how our big trip starts tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"Exactly! Well I want to let you know that tomorrow instead of wearing underwear you're going to wear one of your diapers in the car."
She thinks about it for a minute.
"How long we drive?"
"Oh maybe 9 hours total."
"Okay Daddy."
