With the new year, being three years old, and switching classes at daycare, come an even bigger step for me personally. I'm learning to pee in the potty and with that comes the privilege of wearing big boy underwear. I specifically asked for Spongebob Squarepants underwear and not Elmo because "Elmo is for babies." Mom doesn't know where that declaration originated, but I don't think she'll be buying Elmo underwear for me. While Mom was searching for big boy underwear, I was doing a great job of keeping my diaper dry during the day. With an incentive of an M&M every time, you'd pee in the potty too!
After a search of three stores, Mom finally found Thacker-sized underwear. They're not Spongebob, but I'm thrilled with the selection for now. I started off this past Saturday morning by donning my new drawers.
Mater from Cars lasted about 30 minutes before he was poo-pooed (literally). Poor Mater.
Then we were onto Wall-e. Wall-e lasted through a few trips to the potty until I announced to Mom that "I peed on Wall-e." I couldn't resist. It rhymed.
Next one up was Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the Lil' Green Guys from Toy Story.
Unfortunately they suffered the same fate as Wall-e. Did I mention that I came home sick from daycare on Friday afternoon? On top of trying to manage new underwear and potty routines, I was drinking lots of Blueberry Giraffe Juice (Mom's homeopathic tea and juice concoction) and water to flush my system of the cold.
Later that morning when I hosed Lightning McQueen, Mom declared him my final victim for the day and retreated to my diapers.
I am happy to report that I made it through daycare, dinner, and making blueberry muffins with Mom today with only one accident. That accident occurred when someone else was occupying the bathroom at daycare.
Good times!
