I get to wear big kid pants!

We arrived back from our U.S. trip on 24 October.   While in San Fran Makai was wearing his diapers most of the time which surprised me.  When we returned home on day one he refused to take his diapers off.  Scott and I tell him fine, but he has to change his own diaper and put a new one on if he wants to wear them.  On day two Makai comes up to me and says "Mommie, I want to give my pampers to Santa.  Baby Rudolph needs my pampers.  Santa will give me an Old MacDonald tractor for my pampers."  I thought to myself, I don't think he understands.  He will never get to poo poo in his pamper.  The only place he wants to poop.   I explain to him that he will have to poo poo in the potty.  Santa will not bring him pampers to poo poo.  He said he understood.

This whole time I am thinking man, I am so beat, but if I don't cease the moment, he might change his mind.  I have to go get him this toy.   This toy, is for 12 months + I must add. Its a tractor with 5 animals going for a 'hay ride' and the driver is a cowboy.  If you press the cowboy he sings Old MacDonald.  Makai has been wanting this tractor for at least 6 months which I refused to buy him.  To the point that we stopped going to toy stores.  He would cry and cry for it and play with it for an hour at the toy store. At this point with only 3 hours of sleep with in 48 hours I decided to head out for a nite time scooter ride.

Jet lagged Maks.  Sleeping on our
electric scooter.

17 days later Makai has poop'd in his potty EVERY DAY.  EVERY DAY!  No accidents and no stool softeners!   I told Scott, if I would have known the effect Old MacDonald would have had on him, he would have had this toy 6 months ago!  It took him 6 months of potty training to give up his pamper for bowel movements.

Next milestone, underwear!

The distance he walked from the
"blue playground" to "water the tree."

"Watering the tree".  Pali making sure
no one is watching.
