I know this may be TMI for a lot of people.. but I’m sure some of you will find it interesting. I can finally see a light at the end of the diaper tunnel! Yay!! We are finally making progress and I’m so proud. It’s been a struggle to get Jax to use the toilet. He doesn’t like change in routine and I’m not sure he was getting all the cues until now. About a month ago.. I decided that no diapers/pull ups would be used for Jax unless we were going in public or he was sleeping. He’s been awesome at tinkle.. but number 2… not so much. The kiddo was holding it in until a diaper was put on him for nap time or bedtime and he’d go within 5 minutes. I mean the kid would be turning green and walking around like he’d been riding a horse for hours.. saying he didn’t feel good… and just would refuse to go when placed on the toilet.  It was the weirdest thing. I felt bad for him and worried he was really going to make himself sick. After a few weeks of that… I said enough. NO more diapers. I’ve been putting him to bed with a waterproof pad under him then switching him to diaper after he falls asleep. Now he has no choice.. dirty pants or use potty.. He doesn’t like dirty pants. It seems to be working. It’s either that or the ice cream I’m bribing him with! Haha! Whatever it is.. I don’t care.. It’s worth it!

He has only had a few minor accidents, but he seems to be getting it now! It’s so exciting. I’ve even taken him in public with out a pull up on and felt confident! So everyone do a happy dance with me.. and congratulate him next time you see him.  It’s a huge huge huge HUGE deal. I mean he’s almost 4. This is huge!

Kylie’s doing great too. It comes so natural for her. She’s actually teaching Jax. She’ll be out of pull ups soon too!
