Well, it's so hard to get time to write! But, Edwin has now been off diapers since Wednesday of last week. He's 3 1/3 years and 33 pounds and pottytrained. He went 2 nights w/o diapers also. Last week, Zachary was sick Wednesday and Thursday so we were home. Rather than take Edwin in, I kept both boys home and Wednesday Edwin was running around the house nude. Thursday diapers. One accdient maybe Thursday or Friday evening, and one more a couple days ago, but not bad. The second accident was after a long nap. Or perhaps even not an accident. I can't rule out him just aiming incorrectly on the toilet!
I realized he was ready because he was making all his BMs in the potty and only wetting in his diaper. So, I KNEW he was intentionally wetting rather than accdientally doing it. So, I figured it was finally time for the logic "if there is no diaper under me.. I better go to the potty to do this!". I think he had to get to the point where he was happy going potty *OR* in the diaper before I could transition him.
He still needs to be urged to go to the potty, but last night, he went up the stairs, mumbling something about poop. So, I opened the bathroom door and turned on the light for him. He didn't need any additional help until clean-up time! I call that some serious success!
