I didn’t want too much time to pass before posting another little update on little Dylan (who is now declaring daily that he’s a “big booooy”)…! He started wearing undies — we just swapped out his cloth diapers for some cotton training pants from Tiny Tots! And he really likes them, so much, in fact, that he didn’t want to wear anything but undies to bed tonight (so, we put down a waterproof covering on the bed, doubled the undies up, and wrapped a diaper shell around him!).

He wakes up dry, probably 9 times out of 10, so we’re hopeful he’ll make it until morning…and then, hopefully, he won’t delay peeing (as he sometimes does when he’s too cold) until it’s too late!

He’s been making great strides in just the past couple of days. On Wednesday (our library day), about 5 minutes from the library, he told me he needed to go pee (so I asked him to wait, to which he responded, “I am waiting, mommy”!) and as soon as we got there, we whipped out his potty and there he went!

At school, the teachers have also told me that he’s now telling them when he needs to pee and he’s coming home in the same pull-up we sent him in!

The other day, he also put himself on his potty to go poo…twice!

We’re, of course, thrilled and hopeful that the end of diapers may soon be near. And, we’re very proud of our little guy. He just continues to make us smile every day!
