Winning the Diaper Wars – 1 Down 2 To Go

Posted by melodieshouse on October 29, 2008

My son, who turned 3 on 8/15, is going to the potty now, and he’s wearing real big-boy underwear!  Almost 2 weeks ago I decided to push the envelope and asked him if he wanted to go shop for big boy underwear, and he said, “I guess so” (No kidding, that’s what he said).  Well, he started to get excited about the idea and I decided to take him shopping with me that Saturday.  I took him with me on my biweekly payday shopping pilgrimage, we stopped at a Kmart and he picked out 2 pkgs of underwear (he already had some I acquired but they didn’t interest him so much).  He picked out a 3-pack of Clubhouse Mickey and a 3-pack of Thomas the Tank Engine underwear.  He’s been wearing underwear every day since except for overnight (wears a pull-up) and after quite a few accidents the first few days he’s now going to the potty on his own without needing constant reminders and he’s starting to stay dry through the night.  And he’s proud of himself.  YEEEAAAY!  Now I’m just left with the twin girls.
