It’s tough to see, but within the confines of Dylan’s magnet tiles building, is a potty (and a few random “action figures”).
This past week has been an eventful one. Among many other things, Dylan experienced his first power outage where he was actually awake and aware of it happening. At first, he really didn’t like it and kept saying, “it’s too daaark…turn on the lights,” but once we got into the whole, “it’s just like camping” thing (we used our camp lantern), he got comfortable enough to play just as if it were any other evening at home (can’t even tell he’s playing by lantern light in this picture!)!
Aside from that, he’s been making huge gains recently with his own potty! He’s even using it at least once while he’s in daycare — he says pooping is “tricky” and still mostly wants a diaper for this, especially at school. He did poop in his potty on his own initiative just last week, though. And, he’s now using it pretty reliably in the mornings and before bedtime. We don’t always catch the first pee in the morning because he’s often too cold to want to sit on the potty, but he’s been really good about using it before we leave the house.
Ok. This time, we really do hope it sticks. I hope I didn’t just bad juju everything by mentioning it here!!
