It wasn’t until I actually typed out the title of this post did I catch the double-meaning there. What can I say, not feeling that sharp today.
It is hard to believe that there hasn’t been a post for almost 3 months. It won’t be long before Quincy can do them himself and I won’t have to worry about it.
Since some time has passed from the potty training weekend (started 4th of July weekend), I felt it safe to do an update on how Quincy has done. Basically, he went from wearing diapers during the day and at night to not wearing them at all. The nighttime being diaperless was a bonus – not something we expected him to be able to do at all.
Quincy had one accident the first day we tried underwear, and he was *very* upset about being all soaked. When we tried this a few months ago, he had a couple accidents and didn’t really care that much. For whatever reason, this time it was different. From that point on, he has been 100% reliable. We find it quite remarkable how easily he can do everything that is required. This is one of the benefits of waiting so long I do suppose.
We did get some prune juice to coax some action later on. He seemed a little hesitant in that regard, but once things got moving in the right direction he was just fine with it.
For those who are wondering, and you know who you are, his underwear has Cars theme, Thomas theme, and snorts, plus some plain colors.
Quincy is also closing in on his “big prize” for being dry for 2 weeks. I’m probably just as excited – he picked out a nice Lego set for me to play with, er, I mean put together for him. 🙂
So there you have it, Quincy is now officially off diapers. For those of you with boys, just wait til they’re almost 4, but your experience and mileage may vary. 😉
