Geez...This potty training stuff is exhausting! Be SO concerned about someone elses' elimination patterns hardly leaves me time to worry about my own! :)
Ty is getting the hang of it..finally. Actually, to be honest he has gotten the hang of it a long time ago, but has chosen up to now to stick with the diaper gig a bit longer. Last week, though, when I spent WAY too much money buying diapers for both kids I said..ENOUGH!
Knowing that he was fully capable, were the desire there, I told him we were done with diapers! He was gonna wear "undies" all day long. He could wear a diaper for nap, and at night. That is it..
I totally was accepting of the fact that I would most likely be doing a BIT more laundry, but seriously. Its cheaper than these diapers! So...after a day or two, he is doing great.
He actually was dry for three solid days, including naps and nighttime. I thought I had this one in the bag..OH NO! Then yesterday, he woke up stating that he didnt "want to wear undies today". Um, not an option buddy. Well, he made sure I had a whole pile of laundry to do while I thought about my decision :)
But, this morning we are back on track apparently. He woke up this morning, walked straight into the bathroom, did his business, and stated that he wanted a "EmaEm" for his work. Well, I guess EmaEms are THAT bad for breakfast..right?
Whatever works. Whatever works.
So..we arent in the clear yet, with his mood still coming into play when it comes to his desire to control himself but I see us on the right track. I have already saved at least a few days worth of diapers trying!

How funny (from my end of course)! I can only picture your life right now! Our good friends' little daughter is at the same stage right now. We were at their house on Saturday and she would always call me in with her when she had to go. She then wants you to be real quiet so you can hear the tinkles. Then afterwards she knows that she gets a sticker and two M&M's. However, she will often say that she has to go when she does not in an attempt to get the candy. She will go sit there and then say "sorry, i can't do it." Very cute! Wish I could get some candy for every time I went potty!
If you come and live with me, I will give you M&M's every time you potty! :) Two, if you do it all by yourself without me reminding you :) Three if you stay dry during your nap! :)
Too funny. We still have issues in our house. But I think it is more the autism than anything. Not so fun when he decides to wipe himself after number 2 without telling me he went. Usually the smell has me discovering something is amiss.....
