Well, that didn't work.

On Sunday Quincy asked to wear underwear and agreed to use the potty. I was very happy about this, as he has not had any interest in the potty before now. So, he got out his very own, brand new underwear that he had picked out, and wore them proudly. He was so excited to be a big boy. Well, I did a lot of laundry this week, and a lot of rug cleaning. Four full days in underwear, he sat on and stood at the potty 'trying' to go, but not once did he do anything in the toilet. No amount of awards or rewards seem to do the trick. He liked the idea, but couldn't seem to make it happen. This morning he asked to wear diapers again, said he wanted to be a baby, not a big boy. Not sure if it was the right move, but by now I felt defeated and told him it was his choice. So, we are back in diapers. Four days doesn't seem too long now, while I'm typing it out, but boy the last four days felt very long with every single accident and every unsuccessful try on the potty.
