No More Diapers!

I think the day has finally arrived. The day where I will never have to purchase another diaper! Out of the last 9 years I’ve had a kid in diapers for 8 of them, so I honestly never saw this day coming. Oh happy day!

In true Penny-Roach fashion, Luke waited until close to his third birthday to finally be ready. Actually, he’s the earliest of all three kids. For the past week Lukie has been peeing in a potty, with only 1 accident, and very few wet pull ups for naps or sleeps. The last 3 out of 4 mornings he’s even been dry when he woke up, and same with naps. He’s so proud of himself and has to announce to the world when he pees in the potty, and loves his special treat of a smartie or two.

He’s still not fully trained on the poop side of things, but it’s coming along. He’s about 50/50 at home with it. Considering what we’ve gone through with Anakha and constipation her whole life, I’m trying my best not to make a big deal about accidents. If it ends up in his underwear, no biggie. But he loves the reward of 5 smarties, so he’s certainly trying his best to work on it!

    It is nice to know that your child is making an effort to excel in potty training. On the other hand, the time-tested bribery method really works.

    The good news is that he is on the right track on his potty training. I wonder how would that work if there were no smarties involved.

    This is good to know. I guess the next goal will be getting him to use the potty without promises of rewards.

    This is a very nice development. The best thing about this is the your child also feels good about it in his own way.

    I guess that by this time, your son has already accumulated what would amount to about a small jar of smarties.
