DS has been using the potty on and off since last spring. We got to the point this summer where he would use the potty if running around naked. He was also keeping pretty dry when dressed. (not always though)
Then, we adopted our daughter suddenly and Kaleb decided to start using his diapers again. That was expected - it was a major change in his life!
Now, 4 months later, we are back to being ok if naked but using the diaper if wearing one. He asks to use the potty if we are out, and if he is procrastinating going to bed. He also stays dry at preschool and asks his teachers to use the potty. Any other time at home, he pees in his diaper/pull-up. He usually poops on the potty since we can tell when it's coming. He always says "no" when we ask him to use the potty at home.
So, do I push things along by leaving him naked or putting him in underwear and letting him get wet a few times? Or, just wait until he decides to train himself? I think at some point he will want to stop wearing diapers, but I'm not sure!
He will be 3 in 3 months. I'm so ready for him to be done!
Thanks!
