We decided that we needed a little break in diapers before the baby comes and that it was time for Grayson to become a "big boy" and wear some undies. So, two weeks ago we told him no more diapers. Most of you know that Grayson is a little stubborn and has his own agenda most of the time. He does adjust well to change though. When we took his paci away he was fine (he actually lost it so we didn't have a lot to do with it) when he threw his blanket in the trash (again, this was his own doing since he chewed on the corners and it permanently smelled like a wet dish rag) he was fine. We tried several times before to get him on the potty but he had his mind up that there was absolutely no way.
WELL, the first day was rough, to say the least. But, he woke up on Tuesday and realized we were serious. We spent all day Tuesday dishing out M&M's and doing the "poopy dance" and sure enough he "got" it. That was it. He was basically a diaper-less 2-year-old in a few days. 2 weeks later...he is starting to stand up, he goes in public places, and very minimal accidents, oh and still requesting the M&M's.
We are so proud of him. He can be such a stinker and is so so stubborn but if he knows you're serious he will come along. SO, we have 4 weeks of no diapers! YEAH!!! Not long but 4 weeks is 4 weeks! We really thought this would be a multiple week, multiple month, long process....but, like always, Grayson is a champ. And, of course, Jackson has been his little cheerleader the whole way. He "helps" so he can get his share of the loot as well!
I put some pictures of Grayson up...to celebrate his walk into "big-boy hood" and show off his personality a little!
