Busy Potty Day

It was an unusually busy day because today Conner wore pull-ups!! NO diapers!!

I decided to try it because yesterday at preschool class he told me he had to go pee twice during class! That was quite trying because I had only diapers with me and had to get them on and off while he stood in the bathroom.
So today before Nathan got here I popped in a movie called "Potty Power" he watched it and then he agreed to put on the pull-ups...........well, I had to call them diaper underpants before he'd agree. He kept saying he wanted diapers and I said "but these are diaper underpants" and then he agreed to put them on!

oh! it just occurred to me that I should of taken a photo of him in his pull-ups but I was so busy I didn't have a chance to think of it.

so anyway, he put them on by himself..........because he refused to allow me to help him until his two legs got stuck in the same leg hole.
He wore them the rest of the day and I just asked him from time to time if he needed to go and he'd say yes or no. He kept them dry and peed AND pooped in the potty chair the rest of the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Each time refusing to let me help him put the pants back on until he'd get stuck! lol!

I had told Vanessa this morning that I was going to try it and that if it worked today I'd give her a bag of pull-ups to take home and that she needed to go along with the idea throughout the weekend. I knew she hadn't bought any yet and I had a large box of them here that I had bought on sale several weeks ago. She agreed.
So I'm hoping that she does keep up with it and that by the time he comes here on Tuesday he'll still be using the toilet and that I don't have to start all over again! Figured if we started on a Friday it would work out better because then Vanessa would have three days off work to follow through easier at home.

He was so proud each time that he'd yell out to whoever was here " NATHAN!" or "PAPA!" so that they could come and look at his accomplishments! They would come to the bathroom and oohhh , ahhh and clap for him!

So now the potty chair is soaking in disinfectant and I'm going to drink my small glass of Merlot wine and watch a movie!
