Exclamation Point Heavy Posting

Another accident-free day!!!!!!!!!!!

Ivo and Burl were at school from about 1:30-5pm. No accidents!!!!

Ivo's first 3 toilet experiences were self-initiated!! At one point he told me he wanted to go to the potty but I thought he said party. We laughed over it then ran like the dickens to make it to the potty. Success!!

Ivo is 2 days for 2 days - a streak!!!! I'm sooo happy, proud, relieved and a little bewildered. I'd figured potty training would give me lots of woe-is-me-pity-the-fool blog fodder for weeks, so I've gotta post this little story now...

Over the weekend, Ivo took about a dozen baths. They weren't meant as punishment, just as the consequence of being covered in pee (and the other two/too). Anyway, these pics are from Sunday night. He was happy. Until potty-training came along, baths were Ivo's #1 loathed event, that loathing was transferred to forced potty-sitting. Baths have been rehabilitated - he likes them now!




YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Before these become forgotten memories...




  • All last week, Ivo saved up peeing til bedtime diaper - the kid who almost always woke up scarily dry, became the guy who could barely walk under the weight of his diaper!


  • Pooping, too, was delayed, often till morning.


  • Ivo was insatiably thirsty at night - it seemed he'd figured out restricting his drinking would solve some of his trouble.
