After Max stayed dry all morning, we decided to have him go diaper-less all day. We were going to wait until the weekend, but he has done a great job of staying dry and using the potty, without any help, for the past two mornings, so best to keep the momentum moving. Max went to school with his potty (and lots of extra underwear and pants), because who doesn't walk around town with their own smiley face-talking toilet? Max did a fantastic job and went on the potty too many times to count. He only had one accident at school and two at home in the afternoon. Max happened to be standing (mid-temper tantrum) in daddy's shoes during one incident. Mommy advised him to keep that fun fact a secret, but as soon as Max heard daddy come home he screamed out (with an enormous smile), "Daddy! Your black dress shoes are soaking wet because I went pee pee in them!" It should be noted that, "the black shoes are not my favorite," so perhaps that is why Max did the deed in them.
As expected, potty training will fuel the fire of an always fragile bedtime routine. Max waited until his overnight diaper was on to go number two; totally understandable (glad he got it out!). He also wanted to go on the potty an hour after lights out. Good/bad/long nights continue.
Kira was hard at play on the playmat today. She smiles and giggles at the birds as they circle around above her and she kicks the elephant. Her legs are definitely getting strong and taking her places- all over her crib while completely swaddled!
Who is wearing underwater?! "Me!"
Max helped give Kira a bath this morning and he noticed some differences...
"How is Kira going to use the potty if she doesn't have a penis?" asked an inquisitive big brother.
