Potty training, take two

It's been about two weeks now since we started, again, working with Liam on using the potty. He just has not been interested. Lazy? I don't know. Part of me thinks he likes being taken care of and likes seeing himself as a "little boy".

Well, this "little" boy's mama is tired of changing pull-ups and is happy to report that we are making potty progress! Liam wears underwear now every morning that we are home. He goes to the bathroom with prompting and rarely has accidents. We graduated from the little floor potty, which he was too big for, to a little potty seat on the actual toilet (a big change for him that he freaked out about). He had worn underwear to the grocery store with no problem and was so excited to wear his underwear to preschool and "put wets", as he says, in the potty. Still wears a pull-up at nap time and after naps if we are going places-karate, scouts, church, basketball-so pretty much every afternoon. Probably the next step is working on independently going to the bathroom on his own, without us prompting him every hour or so to go. I think he can do it, with practice, of course.

We are excited and Liam is so proud!
