Potty Training, Part IV

We now have a full-time big boy underwear wearer - even at night! Yay! He had been waking up dry for a while now, and a few times he would even wake up during the night and yell, "Mom! I gotta pee pee! MOM!"

So about a week ago, I decided to make the switch to underwear at night. He was so proud of himself, and has kept his bed dry ever since!

Of course, there have been a few (4 so far) accidents (one was right after he caught his fish at the campground. He must have been excited!), but he is doing so awesome. A couple of times, he's actually been able to stop himself long enough to tell me and for me to get him to the bathroom so he can finish! It's sad, but a little cute, that he gets so upset when he has one. He cries. The last time it happened, he came running up to me crying and said, "Mommy! I pee peed in my underpants!"

"It's ok, Owen. Do you have to pee more?"

"But I got pee pee on my underpants!"

I have to reassure him for a while that it happens sometimes. I guess it's good that he gets upset - makes him more motivated NOT to do it.

Johnna said that the other day he got like 2 dribbles on his underpants and had tears in his eyes. Poor guy, just wants to keep his underpants dry! : )

Owen caught an 8" bass in the kid's fishing tournament at the campground over Labor Day. He lost the title for Smallest Fish by 1", but he was so proud and excited that he caught one!

Pooping on the potty has gone awesome since that first night he went. He prefers to use his Elmo potty for pooping, but has gone many times without, too, when we are out and about. He also will normally stand when he pees, but for some reason he makes me shake it : ) He tells me he has to pee and I tell him to go, and then he'll yell at me, "Waggle my pee pee!" all mad, like how dare I assume he could shake his own. It's kind of strange, because any other time, "pee pee" is pee and "wee wee" is his weiner. Haha, I just said weiner. Maybe he says it that way because I'm shaking the pee off of it. Anyway, he also informed me that he would help potty train the baby. He said, "I'm going to waggle her pee pee and wipe her butt!" I told him girls don't have wee wees, and then he told me, "Daddy doesn't have a wee wee!" I told him I was going to tell Daddy he said that and he just laughed. What a silly billy.

I had my regular doctor appointment today and everything is looking good. She didn't say anything about my ultrasound results, so I asked her what the deal was. She said no news is good news, but she looked it up on the computer (thank goodness everything is computerized and fast these days!) and said everything looked normal. Yay!
