The last week has gone very well. We're still having the occasional accident, usually once a day, and he's getting much better at communicating the need to go potty. More times that not, he realizes he has to go potty because we ask him and from what I've read and found out through conversation, that's the way it goes for awhile. Does that mean we are rushing?
Today marks the first day that we ventured out of the house without a diaper on. We went to the grocery store, delivered Trudi's grocery order and went to open gym without an accident. We just finished lunch, went peepee in the potty and went to sleep with a diaper on.
Success!
I feel alittle like I'm pushing him. I'm not sure who's more nervous about an accident. I'm nervous for him and don't want to be looked at as a novis parent(which I am). But, he definitely doesn't like going in his pants. So, who really needs there expectations checked? It comes down to the fact that I don't trust him to communicate when he has to go, so I probably ask him too often.
At one point at every destination Dylan said he had to go potty. He only went at the Warner Park Rec center and at home before his nap. I'm beginning to think, because I ask him so much, that he is confusing his own signals. Mostly because I'm becoming neurotic about the first public accident.
For the most part, I'm overreacting and going through normal parent anxiety. I'll probably take a picture or cry when it happens.
