Last Wednesday Leo potty trained himself. As I was getting him dressed that morning he proclaimed "I want to wear big boy pants." So he wore his 'Tow Mater' underpants that day. There were a few mishaps in the morning, but by the afternoon he had figured it out, and the timer on the kitchen stove helped us remember to go each hour. A little bribery helped too.The next day he went to preschool for 3 hours, and I wondered if I should send him in underwear, or be safe by going with the diaper. I emailed his teacher... and she said to go for it. So that was day 2 in underwear!
We've had to use some bribery to get the larger 'exports' into the toilet. And a new pirate movie was just the trick! We are now on day 5 of underwear, and and I really can't believe it happened so fast. I had heard that "When they're ready, you'll know"... but I was still a little surprised. (When we tried 6 months ago it was a battle) I guess Wednesday was the day- and he was ready. On his own time.
