Informal potty training has begun for Leon. We've run out of diapers. Well technically we have run out to Huggies diapers from the U.S. I have some Pampers from the store here. I swear they are not the same Pampers they sell in the U.S. I don't know why they are so much cheaper! Is it because there's regulation not regulating here or because the moms haven't organized and protested? Stand up Venezuelan Mommy bloggers!!! Diapers here are also super expensive. They are a luxury item. I think a week's worth is like $25. So today I let Leon run around diaper free for a bit to see what would happen. I pointed to the potty for pee and he walked over and peed. He was so excited that I was so excited that he said "mas" and kept trying and trying and finally a trickle came out and mostly got on the seat and his floor. Ok, no, not too graphic and not TMI...I'm talking about a barely 21 month of baby/toddler!!!
Later he peed on the floor. He was also watching Winnie the Pooh at the time (yeah, I know TV is bad. I'm all alone though and I have to let him do something for 10 mins while I get the lunch on the table or clean up some mess etc).
Lots of people say boys are hard to potty train but I think Leon is ready. He says pee pee when he has peed and lets you know when he is about to poop too! He also hates to have on his diaper these days.
We are planning a trip to the U.S. soon so I am a little hesitant to potty train now before that trip.
But well see how tomorrow goes!
