I ask this question a lot along with "Do you need to sit on the potty?" and we're making progress! Slow progress of course but slow is still good. So far Parker has gone tee-tee on the potty 6 times if you count the two little droplets from last night (and I do) and poo-poo once! He runs to the bathroom and says, "I sit da potty!!!" and then proceeds to take off his shorts and diaper, and then carefully sits down. After getting comfy he asks to watch Elmo and after a second helping of the Potty Song I usually pull out a book about using the potty. It usually only takes one round of Elmo and one book before he's "All done" and ready to "Wash a hands" and put on a new diaper.
Last night he ran to the potty to poo-poo but when he got to the bathroom and took off his diaper I saw it was to late. I let him sit on the potty anyway but showed him his poo-poo diaper and said "Uh oh! We didn't make it to the potty in time, you need to tell Mommy when you have to poo-poo". I'm not sure he understands that he needs to tell me but I know he doesn't like the feeling of a dirty diaper because he immediately wants to take them off, even in the middle of the night. I found him Monday morning with nothing but his pajama shirt on, he'd taken his shorts and diaper off in the night, I assume because it was wet. The good news is that he didn't wet the bed!
This weekend I am going to buy him some training undies, they're thicker than normal underwear and will help him to feel the accident. Hopefully this will help him to go to the potty before the accident happens. I'm also hoping that the package of diapers I just opened this morning will be the last package I buy (for Parker) so we'll see!
In Button related news, it's all good! I've got nothing to complain about, don't get me wrong there are symptoms going on but nothing bad. I'm very ready for my appointment on Tuesday, I won't get to see or hear the baby or confirm how far along I am (I can't remember when AF came in July but I think I'm between 5-7 weeks) but I'll at least get to see the doctor and get things moving along. I'll also get to schedule my appointment with Dr. S 4 weeks later! At that appointment I'll get to see and hear Button and I'm so looking forward to that.
I think the worst thing is that right now, other than my mild symptoms, I don't feel pregnant. I am anticipating the day when I can feel Button swish and roll, and hiccup. I've even been looking (and pinning) fall/winter maternity clothes and anything baby girl related. If Button is a boy, he'll have everything he needs but if Button is a girl, well she'll need everything. I'm sure we could use some of the unisex items we have from Parker but I don't think I could get away with any of the other stuff ha-ha.
One last thing! Parker Man is going to be 2 in TWO WEEKS!!!! I might pass out. I've got everything together, invitations ordered and plans made! My baby isn't a baby anymore...he's my big boy, my handsome boy. Queue the water works.
Alright, time to get to work! I hope you're hump day is a good one!
