Potty Progress

You may remember this post about Owen's potty.  Since then, we have continued to take a very laid back approach.  We have not been pushing him, but rather asking every night if he would like to try.  He always tries and is successful about half the time.

About two weeks ago, he went 3 or 4 nights in a row.  We noted this change and thought he might be really ready for this.  We decided to keep plugging along until the weather got warmer.  We figured it would be easier and he would be more cooperative if he was running around in a tee and a pull-up. 

Then on Sunday, I was changing his diaper and asked him if he had to go and would like to try.  He said yes and he went.  A few hours later I asked again, he said yes again, and he went.  This was right before nap time.  When he got up from his nap, I immediately asked again.  Sure enough, he went again.  You can see where this is going. 

He was very cooperative each time, until it was time to put on a new pull-up.  He thought it was funny to run down the hall sans undergarment.  I had to hold him down two separate times to get the darn things back on.  I quickly realized the pull-ups would now reside in his bathroom so they could be replaced as soon as the deed was done. 

Yesterday he went to Sarah's, and today he went to school, so we are back to our weekly routine.  I don't want to put this on Sarah or his teachers, especially since we won't be carrying his potty with us when we leave.  I think using the potty at home and away are very different and might make our progress go haywire.  For now, we are just going to keep asking and see what happens.

For the record, he was not dry in between sessions on Sunday.  We aren't that far yet.
