Last Thursday morning Roman declared he wanted to wear underwear. This happens every few days but we usually explain him out of it - he will have to use the potty, tell people when he has to go before he goes, etc. This time Roman stuck to his guns, however. So off he went to daycare. He had two accidents so I thought when we returned home, he would be agreeable to putting pullups back on. Nope. He wanted to use the potty some more.
Friday morning we thought we'd be back to pullups. Wrong again! He not only wanted to wear underwear again, he informed Daddy that he had to use the potty, and then proceeded to use it. Standing up. Like a big boy! So off we went again in underwear and had only one accident. Friday afternoon I convinced him back into pullups (after two more accidents within the space of 15 minutes) but he still wanted to use the potty, never complaining. Always tried.
Saturday morning - he awoke at 2:30am calling for Mama. He told me he needed a new pullup and he had to go potty. We did this, and he was successful. Saturday afternoon, he used a public urinal and did a great job (which meant he had been holding it through lunchtime). Sunday morning, 4:00am - again, he awoke calling for us because he had to use the potty. Successful again!
We had really hoped to put off training for another couple weeks, after our trip to South Dakota. But apparently Roman has decided on his own he is ready to start being a big boy, whether or not we're actually ready. He's amenable to pullups because he does still "leak," but he uses the potty and often informs us that he needs to. Give it a handful of weeks and I think we may be close to trained!
