Diaper-free weekend

Cal may be his dad's mini-me but he's a lot like his momma. When I was younger, I woke up one morning and said "no more diapers!" and I refused to wear them again. Cal pretty much did the same thing this weekend!

It started on Thursday after nap time. He didn't want to put a diaper back on. I let him go diaper-less with pants on top. He did really well and had one small accident just before dinner. He did NOT like the way that felt.

Friday he didn't want to wear a diaper. After I put one on him any way, he took it off to go on the potty. He napped in a diaper and I put him in another one after nap time. We ran a few errands and then met my parents for dinner at the club. Right after we sat down, Cal said "I need to go potty". I didn't really know if he meant it, but he insisted upon going right then. I took him in and his diaper was dry and he peed a ton on the potty!

Saturday morning, I thought we'd just roll with it. I was feeling momentum and didn't want to stop it. The thing was, I had a baby shower to attend and was one of the hosts so I had to be there for set up and clean up... That's a long time for potty training with a sitter! Thankfully my aunt was our sitter and she is a trooper and up for a challenge.

I left Cal in his loose fitting pajamas with nothing underneath and he did great! No accidents! I came home to him standing on a stool next to the potty peeing like a big boy (until then he's been sitting down). He wore a diaper to nap time and I took it off right after nap. It was an accident free day! Other than a clogged toilet, the day was a success-- Cal enjoyed flushing toilet paper a little too much...

Today, Sunday, we decided to try wearing big boy underpants. He did great!! Again, no accidents! We have been sticking close to home, so today Eddie took him to pick up breakfast and we all went on a walk today, just to get him used to holding it. Oh, and we stopped asking him if he had to go- he started telling us, or we noticed a few signs he was doing so we could tell him to go potty.

I guess we will just keep on going with this... He has a fit when I try to put a diaper on him, so I guess I'll just continue on. Tomorrow will be interesting...I'm going to go to the gym and really test him...fingers crossed! And school on Tuesday.... Ohhhh, Lordy....

Oh- he is only peeing on the potty. He went number 2 in his diaper during nap time on Friday and hasn't gone since. Add that to the challenges to cross this week!
