Beans and pickles

Blessing #5 has decided to wear big-boy unders. He is potty training himself- pretty much started all this while we were on vacation. 'Bout time.

But then, I guess if I'd been in a big hurry, I'd have been forcing it on him a long time ago.:)

Since he's doing it on his own, he's self-motivated and has a great attitude about it all. In fact, over two long days of driving home, he did not have a single poopy diaper- saved it for the hotel and the rest stops.


I just came downstairs from going up to his room to upright his chest of drawers... which he toppled in the process of digging out a pair of underwear. He just need that one pair with all the tools all over. We are heading to the grocery store in a bit, so, with a little coercion and a little force, I got him to put on some plastic pants over those tool unders.


In fact, he just pulled down his plastic pants and his unders and plopped his little bottom on the potty. As he sat there, he let me know that he went "teeny beany poops" in the potty. "And when I go big poops," he has said before, "it looks like a pickle."


Now we can further classify his pottying- not just from "Did you go wet-wets or poopies?" but instead ask "wet-wets, beany poops, or pickle poops?"
