Underwear

I sent M off to school this morning with Spiderman underwear over his pull-ups...at his insistence. In fact, over the past several weeks, M has developed a LOVE for his underwear. He not only insists that he wear his Spidies daily, but that he put them on himself, which invariably means that they go on backwards...and often inside out.

Anyway, I went to pick M up and he was no longer wearing the cute outfit from the morning, but his "back-up", oops, there was an accident clothes that are stored in his cubby. I asked him if he had peed in his pants at least three different times to which he succinctly replied, "No." I asked if he had had an accident...again, "No."

We went to his cubby to pick up his artwork and his wet clothes. He had obviously peed himself cuz I noticed that even his socks had been changed. Again, I asked if he had peed in his pants. Again M responded, "No." Well, I can't force him to respond to my questions the way that I want so I left it at that and proceeded back to the car to put M and B in their respective car seats.

As I turned on the car and was about to pull out of the parking lot, I saw Ms. Wendy walking towards my car, so I rolled the window down and waited. Ms. W came over to tell me that M had told her that he was wearing underwear like the other boys and that he didn't want to wear his diaper anymore. M went potty with the other boys and was successful three times. Then right towards the end of the morning, Ms. W and M ran to the restroom for an "emergency" but didn't quite make it on time.

This was very informative. It explained M's sudden desire to wear his underwear...peer pressure begins at such a young age. I guess this school is worth the price...I don't even have to do the potty training.
