Woohoo! It’s our fifth Fearless Friday post, as well as it’s from Sonja, with whom we very first ended up being acquainted when we admired her material alphabet collection.
Last week, I took my 27-month old son to his tot gymnastics class. just like every week, except this week… without a diaper. (This is the part where if there was a noise track to this, it’d go DUN DUN DUUUUUUN.)
He’d been using underclothing — deliciously tiny, adorable underwear, to be precise — around the home for about two weeks with diverse levels of dryness. Basically, as long as I kept in mind to take him to the bathroom at routine intervals, he’d do his business there. Otherwise, he’d begin going in his pants, then come running so I might get him to the bathroom where he’d surface up. At any type of rate, he seemed prepared sufficient to leave the home without water-proofness.
So I took a deep breath, packed a few spare attire (yes, more than one, since I was afraid), as well as got on my way. I took Noah to the bathroom before we left the house, as well as then once again when we got to the neighborhood center. all of seven minutes later (I may have been a small bit nervous). I took him once again after class. So far, so clean.
Then, we got on our method to run some errands. very first stop: medication store. We quickly made our method with the store as well as paid. I was spurred on by mental pictures of Noah’s bladder as a ticking bomb. As I put the bag in the cart, my heart sank. Noah smelled distinctly, well, poopy.
Even though he insisted that it was just a “wittle fart, Mama!,” I took him to the (decidedly not as nice as well as clean as the neighborhood center) bathroom, where it turned out that the bit about the fart had been complet adevarat. as well as then, something truly outstanding happened. Noah pooped into the disgusting CVS toilet! I was totally blown away!
Buoyed by our success, we headed for the cars and truck as well as then the grocery store. We made it house with clean, dry pants, which was a really, truly nice begin to our foray into leaving the home without diapers. We have since had a few mishaps in public, one of which taught me that keeping an additional pair of shoes in the cars and truck is not a poor idea, however it’s been not almost as remarkable as I somehow expected it to be. as well as while we still have days with mishaps (sometimes more than one in the exact same day), I understand that we’ve accomplished a solid begin to life without diapers. just the believed of it fills me with awe. A Life Without Diapers. Wow.
*For the record: the complying with week, he peed his pants so commonly that I did a tons of laundry that included about 80% Noah-pants – it’s a work in progress!
Go, Sonja, Go! This publish is part of Fearless Fridays, a series sponsored by method, who makes a hand sanitizer among other wondrous products that you may think about buying if you are living with somebody who poops in their pants. Our take on mom Sonja blogs at GirlWithGreenCard.
