No Diaper!

Jo is 23 months and 5 days old today.

The little fella started to prefer big boy pants over his diaper just 1 week ago, and he's doing fab without it! Praise God!

We started placing a small green plastic pot with a long handle (it's called the 'kong' in Hokkien) at a fixed place for him to get to when he wants to pee, and he's been doing just that - holding it in and running towards the pot with a frantic look on his face, saying, 'Shee shee!' to either his granny or mummy. He'll then grab the pot and place it at the source of his urgency, to further emphasize the point. He still hasn't learnt to push the pants aside though, so we still have to go to his rescue. Fortunately, there has been no accidents so far.

He made some significant progress recently by refusing to wear his diaper for his 2-hour nap. My MIL and I were a bit worried so she decided to change the pants to diaper after he falls fast asleep. O boy, you should have seen his reaction when he woke up, stood up and noticed the swap! 'Pants! Diaper - no! Change,' he said very angrily, looking very insulted and cheated. The next day, he refused to change out of his pants as well, so we took the risk and viola, he sure kept himself dry thoughout!

On the same day that Jo rejected his diapers, my night-time sleep got screwed up. He would wake in the middle of the night asking to pee. Twice. However, just last night, he lasted 10 hours straight without waking up, AND without wetting his diapers!!! Yahoo!!! We think it's amazing progress!!!

God is good.
