We had a small victory at our house this morning. As I was taking the diaper off of my son that he wore all night, he said, "I'm not a little baby."
Finally! He's ready to be a big boy.
Why the change? He has a new friend at daycare. Yesterday, the children there got into two lines before nap time -- one for kids that needed their diaper changed and one for kids that use the potty. My son got into the potty line behind his new friend, a 4-year-old boy who's definitely toilet trained.
And the trend continued today when Jack sat on the potty three times. One of those times he even asked to use the bathroom before one of his caretakers asked him if he needed to go.
Recent events represent two key pieces of the potty training puzzle that we've been waiting for -- peer pressure and real signs that he is ready. Mom and dad have been ready for a long time, but he's been insistent that he's not.
I don't know if the troops will hold, but we're standing our ground as long as the opposition is waving a white flag.
