our little man

i think its official

ben has definitely mastered the potty. he still wears a diaper when he's sleeping, but i'm not going to worry about that... it will come when he's ready. he's already waking drier than he used to, and occasionally he will call to me when he needs to pee - so i know its just a matter of time. but for day-time, he's all set in his undies. he has been in underwear full time for about two weeks now - and i think he's only had one small accident in that whole time, which was way back in the beginning. we've been so proud of him. we have no problems traveling or anything, which was a concern for me. granted, we have to pull over sometimes for him to use the potty in the car or find the restrooms in the store, but he's always able to hold it when he needs to.

as much as i have loved cloth-diapering and actually enjoyed doing the washing and folding most of the time, it's hard to believe that we're nearing the end of diapers for good! we have a few pairs of cloth training pants (with waterproof exteriors - similar to diapers) and once he's staying a bit drier at night, we'll transition him to those for bedtime... and then that will be it for the diapers!
