"I Pee Pee!"

Last night we were brave. Around 6 o'clock I realized that Payton was still in a dry diaper from school. I assumed he would probably need to pee pee soon. So, we sat him on the potty. Twenty minutes later he was still sitting with no pee pee! Chad suggested we let him run around without his diaper. Nervously I agreed. We put a pair of Superman big boy underwear on him and harassed him continuously for the next hour. We all sat down to eat dinner together - I covered Payton's seat cushion with a trash bag in case we had an accident. He kept getting up from his seat. After one false alarm, he again told me that he had to potty. I ripped his pants off and ran him over to the potty (nicely positioned in the kitchen so we could continue eating dinner!). Chad and I went back to eating (after MUCH interruption!). A few minutes later he stood up and said "I Pee Pee!" Sure enough we had a potty full of pee pee! I was so happy that Chad was here for our second pee pee in the potty event. We made a BIG deal about it and Payton enjoyed giving high fives to both of us. We will continue working through this week. Hopefully we can tackle it full force over the weekend and send him to school with pull-ups next week. I'm hoping it warms up a little so I can let him run around outside (away from my carpet and rugs!) minus his diaper. Wish us luck!
