“Want dat-one di-pah?” Spliggle tells me as he points to which diaper or pull-up he wishes to use. (And then the other day, we found him in big-boy underwear, much to our surprise. Sadly, that didn’t last long.) He tells me when he wants to be changed, and runs away when he doesn’t.
He eats a lot. He drinks a lot. And thus, we go through lots of diapers!
Spliggle is opinionated. He is independent. He is on the brink of being toilet-trained, but when he isn’t interested, he is stubborn. And when he isn’t thinking “potty,” then he certainly won’t do anything about it. And so, overnight is a critical point. He doesn’t have “potty” on the mind as he sleeps...
