Jack's in Panties!

**Update: Up from a 3 hour nap and wet.  Oh well.  He's finishing up on the potty right now though.  And he's SO ready to show Addi how big he is!

"Jackson, pull up your underwear."

"NO!  They're PANTIES!"

The problem is that the training pants we bought didn't work so well so we improvised with Addi's size 4 panties.  Jackson doesn't mind a bit but he absolutely knows the difference and refuses to call them anything but panties.  We'll work on it.  He's down for a nap now in panties and I'm going to call this one day training a success even for boys.  The only difference between training Addi and Jackson is that Jack is much less compliant and he can hold his urine for a very long time.  He waited almost 2 1/2 hours before peeing despite having downed over 16 oz of fluids during that time.  But once he finally decided to let it out, it was in the potty and he kept going every 20 minutes after that.  He did have one wet pants incident, but we practiced the entire potty-ing sequence many times and that seemed to be enough.  All of his trips to the potty after that were without prompting and he did everything by himself.  He didn't even want me in the bathroom with him--a refreshing difference between him and Addi.  She wanted me to go with her for weeks.  I like his independence.  I'm super proud of my big boy in panties and don't worry, he'll be getting big boy underwear very soon.  

With Addi, we put her in nighttime diapers for over a year after she was potty trained just because we didn't want to mess with accidents.  Those things are pretty darn expensive, however, and we've decided to take the plunge to no diapers at all with Jackson.  We expect lots of nighttime wetting these first few nights, even weeks, but hope it'll stop after that.  I know you are on the edge of your seats in anticipation so I'll be sure to keep you posted on how it all goes with the big guy.
