Well, I think Micah has this potty training thing figured out. We've had no accidents the last 3 days OR nights! It would have been four days, but I didn't know he'd fallen asleep while I made dinner and he had an accident then, so that doesn't really count, right? He's been waking up in the morning with a dry diaper and asking to go potty and then be put in underwear. He's earned 5 or 6 puzzles and does all of them several times a day. Night 2 of putting the diaper on for bed, and he was asking if he could wear underwear. (Big step from a few nights before that!) He started telling me 3 days ago when he needed to go, and I don't have to ask him or remind him very often. He no longer asks for stickers to be put on his chart before leaving the bathroom, and often one of the kids or myself asks him if he wants one, to which he replys, "oh yeah!"
Last night as I was putting his diaper on for bed, the tab ripped off of one side. Of course it was our "last diaper", and I remembered that the stool in the other room had some size 4 diapers in it, so the day was saved. (nevermind the brand new box of size fours in the closet-lol) Micah made the comment that he hoped the tab on that diaper would break too. I asked why, and he said, "So I can wear my underwear to bed." :)
So, yea for us!! No longer do we have two in diapers! Whoo-hoo!! :) I'm sure that $40.00 a month in diapers for Micah will go to a good cause! (My grocery fund!)
Now comes the brave part and sticking up to my end of the deal....letting him wear underwear to bed for the first time tonight! Wish us luck! :)
Oh man, good luck, but you won't need it he is gonna do great!! I am so happy for you, this is a great accomplishment. Yeah Micah!!
ReplyDeleteHey that is great. I hope the underwear to bed turned out okay. Allie was back and forth for a few weeks between undies and pullups (night time panties we called them) but soon she got it figured out. Good job Micah.
