Silas the copy cat, never one to be left out when Miah is doing something, has decided he wants to be potty trained. Seeing as he is only 19 months, we thought we had a bit more time before we were back to bathroom basics. Not the case. He likes to sit on his little potty and won’t keep his clothes on if he thinks he needs to go. He is doing a great job too! We haven’t really had to change a poopy diaper, or a very wet one even, for a few days now.
The only downside is that he wants to go to the bathroom EVERYTIME he needs to go. This means that even if it is just a few little dribbles he will be pulling off his clothes and diaper and going. He tells us “bath” and points to his diaper if he hasn’t gotten it off before we have noticed.
So needless to say the diaper changes may be less full but they are more frequent. We tried underwear with him over the weekend, but he was wetting too many pairs in the process.
Today while we were walking in the mall to the grocery store he stopped and was trying to get his shorts and diaper off to go to the bathroom…he is THAT serious.
I am glad to see him take the initiative in his training, let’s just hope it doesn’t take up all of our time.
