I Wear the Underwear
The toilet training of my 4th child has been extremely slow. I had hoped that since he had taught himself his numbers, letters, and colors, he would teach himself to always use the toilet. Abby was wearing underwear by 2 1/2, but both of Zeke’s brothers didn’t wear underwear until 3 1/2. Well, Zeke’s 3 1/2. I bought underwear with Diego on them several months ago, and told him he could wear them when his pullup was dry for the entire day. Peed in clothes and wet spots on furniture and rugs is just something I do not like to deal with. Finally, on Monday, he went to take his bath, took off his dry pullup, held it over his head, and ran through the house yelling, “I wear the underwear! I wear the underwear! I wear the underwear!” He typed his father the news via email, to which his father replied “I wear the underwear too!” Most likely these are the underwear the kids sent Dale for Christmas. He always threatens to buy the kids socks and underwear on their birthdays and on Christmas. They decided to get him back this year and wrapped up some underwear to replace the ones covered in rust stains from his ill fated wash load. I’m sure it was his favorite gift. One of the difficulties of the change to underwear is that Zeke no longer has a pullup on to help hold up his pants. I need to buy the boy a belt. He walks around looking like a belligerent youth with his pants falling down. On Tuesday and Wednesday, Zeke would announce to all he met, “I wear the underwear! It’s Diego.!” Then, to his siblings mortification, he would periodically show people his underwear. He kept his underwear dry all day Tuesday. He had only one accident on both Wednesday and Thursday. Today…Well today we had three changes of clothes and I think his underwear joy is starting to fade .
Yes nothing like an Organizational...
