Liquid Gold

Day started early like 5.30am. Well, sort of. Chester woke up at 5.30am but I didn't pick him up from the crib till 6.30am. Since we were up so early, I decided to let him put on some "potty pants" and ditch the diaper. I have four of those "potty pants" my MIL got and within an hour, he has already wet all four.

He wasn't too happy wetting himself and I can sense that. So I reassured him by hugging him and telling him it is okay. That he will have to eventually pee without his diapers. He was willing to sit on the potty a few times but timing was bad, which was why he wet himself. My morning was all about naked butt, pee and cleaning up. Hanging out with Chester with a wet cloth for the floor and one for cleaning him up close by.

Chilling on the mat

He was cautious somehow not to move around too much after realizing he has no diapers and that he will wet his pants. I also placed the mats on the carpet again just so it is easier to clean. 

When I took this photo, he was actually peeing on the mat, giving me that cheeky smile

Long story short, he walked up to the potty suddenly and started peeing into the potty. After he did that, he clapped and cheered. I cheered too. Then, that was it. He didn't want to do it again. Oh well, I just let him be. For day one, I think it's pretty awesome. Finally, something in the potty.

My first pot of liquid gold. This morning. Even better than striking lottery.

I said lottery because it may take awhile for this to happen again. But like I said, I will keep trying slowly, just to make sure I am not upsetting him while trying.
