Big Boy Pants

Guess who went without nappies ALL day at school?

I got 6 pairs of trainers for Andrew to wear to school. He's been very interested in the potty recently. His teachers said that he always wants to use the potty when they go to change him. So...I ordered his trainers a while back but it took until Friday for them to arrive.

I thought we'd try the trainers this weekend so they wouldn't be new on Monday at school. (He has done really well with big boy pants at home. He will dribble and then run to the potty.) When he wore the trainers....he would pee and keep going. They must be too much like diapers. I was afraid he would go to school wearing the trainers, pee thru them and they would put him back in nappies.

The little guy surprised me. I went into his bag to get his dirties so I could wash them for tomorrow. There were still 3 un-used pairs (I didn't send all 6). He had a poopie pair (the most $$ pair of course!) and that was it. He had been in 1 pair all day!!! My little guy went peepee in the potty all day!!!

If you answered "Rene"...you are right except he doesn't go to school.

Diapers...you knew it was coming...

On the subject of diapers....yes, I used cloth diapers on the flight.

I used Flip diapers with a disposable gDiaper liner. The liner is made from cellulose fibers, so there were no nasty chemicals next to his cute little tushie. It worked wonderfully. That said, it was only pee diapers. I was so worried that he would poop and that it would escape (since I'm not familiar with the absorbency of wood pulp...). He did say "poop" about 2 hours before we landed. When I changed him, it was just a little poop, so nothing to worry about. Of course the garbage in the bathroom was full by then. I just shoved it down as best I could...

Since we've been here, he has been a little pooping monster! I think almost every diaper has been a poopie one. His first diaper actually leaked out of the leg casing (this is a first for us...yea cloth!). Poor little guy must have been holding his bowels (and mommy is thankful!) but geez boy, how much crap do you hold?
