Potty All the Time

Gusi's got it. With a bit of fear of jinxing myself, it seems that Gusi has got the potty thing down now. It was a grueling process with Papi and I at eachother's throats and at Gusi's when we were in the thick of it, but now, we are so happy we went through it.

We spent about two weekends in a row doing potty training boot camp. I felt like a zoo keeper, shoveling poop, taming the wild animals and hearing the constant shrieks and screams. Yet now, Gusi only wants to use his "big boy" underwear, tells us when he has to go, and makes his own way to the bathroom to use the toilet. He still needs some help with his clothes (though not always) and cleaning up afterwards, but he does it all by himself for the most part. He was peeing sitting down at the beginning but now he really only wants to do it standing up "like the big boys". The only problem is that he wants to wear underwear at nap time (yes, he's napping during the week since school tires him out) and bed time. He'll accept a diaper at night but not for his nap, so we often see him wake up with "an accident", but I'm sure he'll either get rid of his nap altogether or he'll learn how to hold it while he sleeps.

For now, I'm just changing one set of diapers. I'll take what I can get. Kudos to Gusi!
