I just wanted to share.....and see if this has happened to anyone else.

So, we are not officially potty training yet.  I don't think DS is all the way ready (alothough, he is not crying and screaming at the mention of "potty" anymore).  Over the weekend I let him run around the apartment without diaper for about 5-6 hours.  No accidents!!! But, no going on the potty either.  So, I put a pull-up on him and he lets it all loose (soaking wet and poopy).  Yesterday, I tried the butt naked approach again.  After 2-3 hours, he went pee in the potty!!!  Of course, I made it a huge deal!!  Then, he turns to me (not caring that I made a big deal) and says, "Diaper on".  He wants a pull-up on for reward??  I laughed, put one on him, and thanked him for going on the potty.  Did I do the wrong thing?

    My DD went through a phase in early potty training when she would hold it until a finally gave her a diaper.  That's great that he did go in the potty on his own the next day.  He'll get it:)

    Similar thing happened to my DS. He would hold his poop in until we put a diaper on him. He just wasn't ready at the time. We left it alone for a little bit but always kept mentioning the potty just incase he wanted to. A few months later it all really clicked for him and he now goes in the potty all the time. I think at this stage he's still figuring out going in the potty vs. going in the diaper. I think he's on the right track.

    On the PT front, I was VERY "laid back" about it because I didn't want to make it a battle ground at all.  My theory is that they'll get around to it w/o pressure.  I'm not saying don't encourage them and talk to them about it, etc, but I let DS make a lot of the choices about it. 

     Luckily my DCP was also working on it on her end too - and he's more apt to listen to her from the get go (no nonsense woman - the kids KNOW to listen to her!), where as w/ mommy and daddy - he simply pushes w/ us more.  So I kind of let her be the tough one on it and at home, we were more relaxed about it.

    But it all came together and I'd say by around 3, he was PT'd.
