Isaac Is Now Sporting Underwear


Isaac has had 2 successful days wearing underwear without any accidents, even during nap time. For the last month or so he's been running around naked whenever he is home practicing using the toilet. At first he would dash to the toilet when he was inside. When he was outside he would either choose not to come in and decide to "water" the plants/grass instead or wait till the last minute and loose it on the way in. Gradually he got better and better always coming inside to use the toilet and no longer needing to dash. So this week we've been offering him a choice to wear underwear or a diaper when he leaves the house. He has chosen underwear each time and has warned us when he needs to use the bathroom with plenty of time. I am quite excited and sad at the same time. We used cloth diapers with Isaac and currently are with Eli, so I am happy to have less diapers to clean out. I am sad that time seems to be moving way too fast watching him grow.

Update: Isaac talks about the fire alarm serveral times every day. He shares the story with anyone that may not know yet. He seems to still be processing the whole event still.

Isaac, Hoorah!! Going to the bathroom on your own and using big boy underwear is a really big step. Grandma and Grandpa are very proud of you. Just think, no more messy butts.

Isaac, try not to think about the fire alarm anymore. You apologized to everyone and they know it was an accident.

Love
Grandma & Grandpa Pletzer

Liz and I are debating the cloth v. disposable diaper thing. I assume, that sense you're using them again, you would recommend it? Could you make a good argument for or against cloth, and maybe send us in the right direction brand/type-wise? There are so many options, it's all a bit overwhelming.
