Levi, the Almost Big Boy

Levi turned 3 in February. By this time, Jude was potty trained. It helped to train Jude while we were in Germany. Since we had to pay to go to the bathroom everywhere we went, I insisted he come with me, even if he said he didn’t have to go. And, it worked. Here in America, training Levi hasn’t been easy. He rarely wants to try, even for a bribe. But, this morning, he woke up after I had left for work and told Andy, “I have go potty.” Andy took him and Levi did great. Levi then announced, “Mommy say I a big boy now.” Then later today Levi attempted to change his own poopy diaper, but got in over his head. He came to Andy with a poopy butt, no pants on, holding his pants and holding a clean diaper. He then showed Andy how he had deposited the poopy diaper in the garbage can in the bathroom. If Levi gets to the point of changing his own poopy diapers, it is definitely time for the potty.
