The big news in our house is that we’ve
completed our first full day with no diapers on Lex. Yesterday
he was pleased to announce that he would wear Eve’s diapers
that day (we are out of his diapers) and then wear underwear
the next. This morning he had a different story :) After
discussing for awhile he agreed to put on pants with no
diapers, but still refuses the underwear. He had three
accidents and a bunch of successes. After the first two
accidents he remembered that we used to do stickers and treats
for successes, so he asked about that and I agreed and he was
much more motivated :) I think we’re on the right path. We also
bought “big boy pull-ups” for night time so we don’t have to go
back to diapers at night. The hardest part so far is convincing
him to sit on the potty. Something comes out every time he
does, but he’s pretty opposed to the idea of stopping what he’s
doing for a potty break. Stubborn monkey :) We’re currently
using the oven timer and when it beeps (every 1/2 hour!) he has
to take a break and sit down. As I was saying good night he
said he wanted to try the underwear tomorrow. I’m super proud
of him!
