"These underwear are really soft.
But so is his diaper. It keeps his
bum warm.
HE IS DIAPER KID!"
We had returned home after a Christmas holiday, when our son (who had just turned 3 and easily articulated when he would need his next diaper change) asked to wear the Dukes of Hazzard Underoos he got for Christmas. I reminded him that we could wash clothes once a week, He was quick to let me know he had no intention of 'peeing' in them. In fact, he never did, and from that day forward he was trained for day and night. Never had an accident. Thank goodness we had not gone through the angst suffered by both parent and child while toilet training.
Diaper Kid seems to take the same position when it comes to readiness. Always on the go, he hasn't got time to stop for his parents. Chosen spaces for 'going' are behind the curtains, under the table or in his purple car while trying to win the next race.
His parents do their best. He has no interest in cooperating. The fight to get him into underwear is a constant battle that leads to another diaper, and underwear worn as a fashionable beanie. A play in the backyard pool and a surprise visit from neighbor Esme results in embarrassment for how wet his diaper is. Seeing that Esme is wearing underwear, maybe giving it a go will speed things up.
Today, he's known as Underwear Kid!
