Alex is away on vacation for a week, and I’m home with the boys, so I decided that I was going to take it upon myself to seize this opportunity to take our potty training (or lack-there-of) to the next level. I’ve been really pushing the potty since we got home from Virgin Gorda and the boys are waaaay into it too. And… Today… drumroll please… was Kyle and Owen’s first day in underpants — a huge, huge milestone day for them both! They were sooooooooooo proud to be wearing underpants. And they both got through the whole day with no accidents! We still have a long road ahead of us with all-things-potty, but we’ve turned a huge corner in the journey.
P.S. In a rare occurrence, when we went shopping for underpants first thing this morning, they each had quite different tastes and preferences: Kyle wanted boxer-style-briefs and Owen wanted to go the more traditional route. And Kyle went for the Lightening McQueen/Cars underpants while Owen went for Thomas. But the minute we got home they ripped off their shorts and diapers to get those undies on ASAP. They could not have been more proud of themselves and each other! Many times today they each exclaimed to me: “We are big boys Mama! Me and my brother both! We are wearing underpants!”
