Micah ran out of his diapers on Friday, so Saturday morning we tried potty training. Micah was resigned to the fact, and was almost excited to pick out big boy underwear. He did an excellent job all day long, and earned 2 puzzles! He only had 1 accident at 7:30pm--I think he was distracted watching Zander play the computer. He even wore his big boy pants to the
Veteran's luncheon. I didn't have to take him every 20 min., he just told me when he needed to go, and if it had been a while, I'd ask him. We told him he had to wear a diaper at night so he didn't wet the bed. He was actually very opposed to wearing a diaper, which surprised me. He was going to be a big boy now, and wanted to wear his underpants to bed. We made a deal that if he could keep his diaper dry for 3 nights in a row, he could try underwear for bed. Could it really have been this easy? Hiding the diapers was all it took?? It certainly looks that way at this point. I'm so excited I can't hardly stand it!! (**Meep!**--that's for you, Nichole!) We're going to try big boy pants today as we go to church--wish us luck! :)
Yeah Micah!!! That is so exciting. When Brylee potty trained, she didn't want to wear a diaper to bed at night either, and so I didn't make her. I tried to sneak in and put one on her when she was asleep, but she woke up and was so mad at me. She hasn't worn a diaper since. I say go with it. If the boy is ready to try, then let him try. I am so happy for you. One less in diapers at your place.(love that Meep!, :) thanks)
