Suddenly in the last week Nicholas has decided he doesn't want anything to do with a dirty diaper - pee or poo. I praised him for telling me he needed a clean diaper and Celia jumped on the band-wagon too. So now I feel like I'm changing diapers all day - some times the diapers are barely wet, but they cry cause they have pee pee in them and they want clean diapers.
Just tonight they were whining at bedtime cause their diapers were slightly wet. I'm happy they are telling me, and on the other hand, it's going make us need to buy more disposable diapers for bedtime (we use cloth during the day).
They sure seem like they're getting more ready to potty-train, however their timing is less than preferable. With our new baby coming sometime in the next 4 weeks, this isn't the time to start wearing underwear. They aren't telling me BEFORE they pee, they are telling me AFTER they pee, so thats a big stage to get to as well.
So. . . I hope they can hold on another month or two before we start training. I did tell them the new baby will need their cloth diapers and they will need to wear underwear like mommy and daddy. I guess we'll keep praising the need to have a clean diaper and bite the bullet with more laundry and diaper cost for the time being so they don't loose ground. We'll see!
We grow so fast. . .

Oh Jill, that is exactly where we are at right now. Not training them, but they just aren't liking being wet, they say "pee pee in the potty" after they have peed. I agree for you, the timing kind of stinks. I get tired of running back and forth between them and I'm not even pg.
ReplyDeleteToo bad you can't teach them to change their own diapers...or each others! ha ha Did you find any Thomas the Train pants yet? Nicholas surely won't want to get them wet!
ReplyDeleteThat's a tough one. K&B are asking to sit on the potty all the time now with their diaper off, but they won't go. I feel bad because I don't have the energy to be more proactive about it, but it's not the best timing. I'm just going with it and letting them sit whenever they ask but when the baby comes that might be anther story.
