I'm close to saying Leon is potty trained. He pretty much goes diaper less all day long except for naps. He refuses to wear diapers. He really loves the whole "pee-pee papa!" Translation, peeing daddy style. He also has long given up his pato (potty in shape of a duck) and uses the actual toilet. And he is fairly consistent with #2 in the toilet too.
I'm quite proud of him. Maybe people told me that potty training a boy was really difficult and that I probably shouldn't even attempt until he is 2 and a half or older.
But potty training isn't easy. He uses the bathroom all the time. I walk him to the bathroom, pull off pants (I can't just pull them down, they sometimes get wet with me...but not the nanny), help him balance on the step, help him push his body forward, then help him put the pants back on, help him up the steps to wash his hands (one of his favorite parts), try to convince him his hands are clean, usually lift him away from the sink, try to dry his hands, and walk him out of the bathroom. All that in place of just changing a diaper every couple of hours. ((Also, don't for get I'm 30 weeks pregnant with a huge stomach and an aching back))
But it is nice to know that when #2 arrives there will only be one in diapers.
