I'm happy to say we have made HUGE strides over the past week with Luke's potty training. Over the past few weeks, we had a potty calendar to cross off days until Spring Break, which is a good time for us to stay close to home for a few days and work on potty training. But after talking with some friends that told us to try for one hour a day, we decided to try it a little early and full on potty train while they were off of school for a week. Well, after Luke got home from school on Tuesday he said it would be ok to put on a pull up. Now, this may not seem like much, but for us it was GREAT! He only wanted to wear his monkey diaper and would scream if he wore anything else. After he put on his pull up, he decided it wasn't so bad and eventually wanted to wear his under roos. Over the past few days, we transitioned from wearing a diaper 24/7 to roos during the day, a pull up for nap, and a diaper at night. On Thursday, he told me he needed to potty, we sat, and he peed (after having a few expected accidents). However, yesterday and today he has decided he doesn't like peeing on the potty so much after all and will hold his pee until his afternoon nap. Yes, he will wait HOURS! I guess he got Dan's bladder. He will wake up in the morning, put on his roos, and not pee until around his 3pm nap. While we're glad he's not wetting his roos, it is concerning that he holds it for so long. A lot of things I have read say this is natural and part of the transition for some kids. He's just a little more stubborn when it comes to the potty :)
While it's still a long process, we feel like he will be potty trained soon. We're so proud of our Lukester!!!
