Last night, Seamus was in a silly mood (as usual). When I asked him to put on his pajamas after his bath, he grabbed his pull-up and told me it was his "sleeping hat" and proceeded to put it on. He's such a noodle.
Speaking of pull-ups, today is the day that we begin potty training. We've had him using the potty for months. He can go on command, and very rarely will announce he has to poop and will run to the potty. Usually, it's us telling him to go. But, he hasn't mastered holding his pee yet. We went through a very long time with no pooping in his pull-up, but he's had a recent regression. Because today begins a holiday weekend and we'll be home together for 3 days, we are just going to go for it. So, he's wearing underpants (only), and I am going to sit him on the potty every hour or so. I've rolled up the rug and put a water proof pad on the chair. He knows he's not allowed on the couch for now. I am willing to keep him home from daycare for a few days next week until we get this licked. I'm a bit nervous, but I hope it will just click for him. We'll keep him in pull-ups for naps and nighttime until he can wake-up dry.
Wish me luck. I'm thinking this is like sleep training or ripping off a band aid. Let's just get it over with instead of dragging out the torture. I'd like him solidly potty trained before he starts preschool in September. He just looks so darn cute in his underpants, right??
