No more diapers!

Yah, it's been a while, we've been super busy in the Z household so the blog has been neglected :(. I have WONDERFUL news to report though!!

Let's start at the beginning, because starting at the end would be confusing. For the past 2-3 weeks (months) Z has been an absolute terror during diaper changes, he screams like a banshee, writhes around like a slug covered in salt, and kicks the ever living hell out of me the entire time. Last Thursday night, I was tired, and stressed, and frankly I had just had ENOUGH of this wrestling match to get a diaper on this kid, so I said "Fine Z, it's either a diaper or you're putting big boy panties on!" (Yes I called them panties, I'm a girl, I have a sister, no boys around, they're panties to me ok, B is not amused and would like me to call them undies, but still catches himself calling them panties)

And you know what Z says? "Yah, pants". Fine kiddo, you're gonna have to go pee-pee in the potty if you're going sans diaper! And so we started potty training, the first couple days were full of full-on accidents, but he learned VERY quickly that sitting in a puddle of pee is a not-so-fresh feeling. Add that to the fact that my child is completely OCD, and you have for the last 2.5 days.. NO ACCIDENTS, yes you read that right.. NO ACCIDENTS, granted, he saves his major deposit for naptime diapers, but the pee-pee is going in the potty!! He is so freagin cute about it and so extremely proud of himself, as he SHOULD be! He starts squirming, says "potty!" and runs his little buns as fast as he can to the bathroom, stands in front of his potty and patiently waits for me to pull down his pants so he can do his thing, then says "all done!" and helps me pull them back up. It is freagin amazing, and I have to say, I HIGHLY recommend skipping the pull-ups and just leaping into the panties (aka undies), it really seemed to help him train faster to feel wet and uncomfortable, and with a pull-up on (which he wears for naptime and in the car) he just goes in it because it feels so much like a diaper.

So yah, those 3 boxes of diapers I just bought at Target, guess they're going to the local diaper drive, because we are a mickey and elmo undie house now!

And just so I don't leave you with no visual stimulation, here is a SUPER cute video of the Z-man getting his groove on to the Black Eyed Peas.. SANS DIAPER :)
