so we decided to stay in for an entire week, just like we did with hayden, until we knew he was good and trained! he actually got it SO much quicker than i ever thought he would. actually, on day 1 he pretty much had it down. he even pooped on the toilet which was pretty surprising to me. hayden refused to poop on the toilet and would just wait until nap time when he had a pull up on to do his business. that lasted for awhile.
talan has had a few accidents, but nothing too major. and on day 2, he did actually hide in a corner and pooped in his underwear to which he very quickly realized that was a BIG no-no. and he hasn't done it ever since.
the way i have trained both boys is to tell them the nite before training that this is the last diaper and then stick to it. from them on, it's underwear except at nap and bed time. then at nap time, i put a pull up on talan and told him that it was "nite-nite underwear" and that we DO NOT pee or poop in our underwear. he looked at them and said..."this is a diaper!" then i showed him that he puts it on just like regular underwear so... it's underwear. as he was putting his feet in he felt it and realized it did feel a little more diaper like and he said "this is fluffy underwear!"
talan has actually done a great job at even keeping his pull up dry at nap and bed time. he wakes up on a very regular basis dry which is another huge accomplishment. again, something hayden didn't do for quite a long time after being trained.
we have been out in public several times now, and have even had to use a couple of restrooms and talan has done a great job. no accidents in public so far!
as much as i hate public bathrooms, it has been pretty nice being back to just 1 kid in diapers!
great job, talan!!!
