I am so happy to report potty training is going well. Joey has had only 3 accidents in the last 2 weeks and all were understandable due to playing with friends and not wanting to take the time. We have had some funny stories along the way. Joey has always preferred to wear his underwear backwards so he can see the big picture of whatever character is on them in the front, but on this particular day he decided his head would be a better place to wear them!!
One afternoon he was playing outside and actually came inside to ask if he could go pee in the grass!! My first reaction was no, but then I got to thinking about teaching him how to stand up and pee for our upcoming road trip so I told him he could. About 15 min later Alan comes running in to tell me Joey pooped on the patio!!! That led to quite a discussion. We are working on a new way to teach him how to pee standing up as a result :P
Our best friend, Emily, is also potty training so we took our potty to her house for a Potty Party!! This really seemed to seal the deal for Joey as we haven't had many accidents since then.
The final story for today is the fact that Joey thinks he is ready to wear underwear to bed at night. Mommy and Daddy, however know better and will not let him. One night was a particular struggle with Daddy. Daniel put his diaper on and tucked him in after what seemed like 15 times of coming out of his room to go potty to prolong bedtime. Then at 2am he comes into our room soaking wet!! I went to change the sheets while Daniel gave him a quick shower. When I picked up the diaper on the floor by his bed it was completely DRY?!? He must have removed it after Daddy left and then went to bed. He has been much better about wearing the diaper at bedtime, but has continued to come out of his room several times at bedtime to use the potty. Mommy is pretty smart though and has bumped bedtime up 30min.
