abe picked a fine time to go poopy and pee pee outside the home.

saturday, june 26, 2010. so since my blog post on june 1, where ABE DECIDED he just wants to wear UNDERWEAR, that's all he's been doing! however, we put him in diapers when we leave the house, which lately, is not often and every night before bed. he'll rip off his night time diaper to go potty when he wakes up in the morning. then we put him in unders which he usually takes off, preferring to go a la natural around the house. as a result of the nakiness, there have been some really cute/funny photos of him that i can't post because it's total full frontal nudity which is a no no for online. anyway, we never set out to potty train abe. we have just always had levi's old potty seat out because it acts as a step stool and abe watches levi use the big potty all the time. he's so into doing what the big boys do that i guess it was only natural for abraham to want to go potty like a big boy. he even uses the big potty 95% of the time. until today, though, he has never expressed that he needed to go potty while we were out and about. i find it comical that HE CHOSE TODAY of all days. so, we're flying at about 31,000 FEET in the air and abe tells me rather urgently that he has to go pee pee AND poopy! i hadn't paid attention to where the restrooms were, but i looked toward the front and there was a woman coming out of one. just our luck. we head in, i closed the door, and abe start panicking saying he wants his potty at his house. AAAHHHHHH! i told him that we weren't home anymore and that this was his potty on the plane now. it took lots of coaxing, but eventually it sunk in. he had no option other than going in his diaper. so i lined the seat with extra protectors, which shifted when i put him on (gross). but, HE DID IT! poopy and pee pee. i put another diaper on him, buttoned him up, and flushed the toilet. i was getting ready to lift him up to wash his hands and he said he had to GO MORE!!!  AAAHHHHHH! i lined the seat again, he did the deed, i got him dressed, this time he wanted to flush, we washed hands, and what felt like 20 minutes later, we went back to our seats. then a little while later he told me he had to go pee pee! for reals? TWICE in one flight? this time i didn't sit him back on the seat far enough and his pee went over the edge of the toilet and soaked his pants. oops. that's why we pack extra right? this was one experience i wasn't expecting, but it is PRETTY DARN COOL that we are that much closer to saying good bye to diapers for good!!!
