I Need a Cup!

We fell off the potty training wagon after Cale was born, but Karston seems interested again. (Whew!) We're letting him set the pace and tell us what he wants when. This week, he has used the toilet three times, telling us when he wanted to use it, and being ready to go. However, he really prefers to use a cup, actually a laundry powder scoop. We use those scoops as bath toys too. He took a bubble bath this evening, and seeing his cups must have reminded him of something else. After a bubble bath, Karston goes on his naked run, running away from us through the house, usually shouting naked, I'm naked as he goes.

I was reading Cale his bedtime book while Karston was on his naked run. He stopped to cuddle with us on my lap a few times, possibly to warm up. And let me tell you, when your naked potty-training-in-progress son on your lap suddenly puts his hands down there and says, I need a cup!, you're ready to fly into action to save your baby, your lap, and your carpet from that spray. Naked Karston made it to the cup in time at least four times this evening. I suspect he has excellent control since the time to get him to a cup varied, but we didn't want to test those limits. Not when he's naked. He also seems to have a good awareness of when he's ready to go since none of those were false alarms. We've had false alarms before, but none recently.

I'm glad potty training is progressing again. Maybe we'll be back down to one child's worth of diaper changes soon.
