Good Bye Diapers!

Bricen is now entering his 3rd week without diapers. He is wearing Big Boy undies during the day and pull-ups during the night. Although it was a little tough at first, he is proving to be a star student at potty training or as they call it now, "toilet learning".

About a year ago he started going potty on the toilet occasionally and would occasionally go poop too. Over the last few months he has had several days of success then taken steps backwards. The best example of this was one day towards the end of November, when I caught him in the act of going poop in his diaper. He had been doing so well going on the toilet and keeping his diapers dry, so I let him know I was disapointed in him. He insisted on continuing to go in his diaper, so I told him to let me know when he was finished so I could change him. He could tell I was not happy. He came and found me in the playroom when he was finished and started rubbing my arm. He said, "Mommy you an angel, you a miracle" he was trying to butter me up after he knew I wasn't happy. He looked at me with those sweet little eyes and said, "you not pointed in me mommy". Oh it just ripped at my heartstrings... Needless to say, I laid off for a little while.

Then opportunity struck. Just before New Year's we went to only underwear. He went through several pairs during the day at first, but now he is doing great! He went several days last week with no accidents. Today we went on an out of town trip and he wore the same pair of underwear the whole day! As each day goes on, Brice becomes a bigger and bigger boy. Before I know it he will be bigger than me:)

I think these undies are just the cutest! I had to take a picture to remember how small they are, yet what a big step for a Big Boy.

Look at all of those stickers on the Potty Chart!
