Today I Took My Diapers Off
Today I took my diapers off;
I do not need them now
Just like grownups use the potty
I am learning how

There's no more pins and sticky tapes
And waiting to be changed
Now if you will excuse me, please
I have to go again

I have a little potty of my very own;
It has a yellow ducky to hold onto
It's just the perfect size for someone big like me
Though it might be just a little small for you

Today I took my diapers off;
I've never felt so free
My pants are not puffed out in back
What you see is me

I have some bright new underwear
Just like the big kids get
Before I go, I pull them down
So, I won't get them wet

I have a little potty of my very own;
It has a yellow ducky to hold onto
It's just the perfect size for someone big like me
Though it might be just a little small for you
Today I took my diapers off
And put them in a drawer
I waved goodbye to them
'Cause I won't need them anymore
